Took a long ride today,
and noticed how much better I feel, comparing my recumbent to my old bike.
Have you ever been on a long bike ride or a bicycle tour and noticed another cyclist riding a recumbent bicycle? If you were very far into the ride you might have noticed something different about the recumbent rider, primarily a contented smile while riders on conventional bicycles (maybe even yourself) were grimacing.
(just playing here, to see if the 'cut and paste' works, and it does).
Anyway, had a nice long ride, where I followed the trail beside the canal that feeds the golf course lakes. A slight, steady incline that's easy to ride, and REAL easy to come back on. I love the mountain views from the ridge on the west side of Broomfield. Don't know if people just haven't seen a recumbent, or I'm just a strange looking old codger, but some kinda stare. Oh well, it's good exercise.
