recumbants

(i agree with the loonie vote though, when i have ended up talking to a recumbent-ist they tend to be ... eccentric?)

You do realise that Velo admitted to having one a few posts back? Then again he has also worked out how to carry a bike on a scooter so you may be right

Bike on a scooter, now I'm interested... Tell me more

I remember freewheeling down a steep twisty hill with a group of fellow cyclists whilst I was on my recumbent........

What one have you got?

I'm interested as I'm looking into getting one.

Ah, recumbents. I am a cycling nerd, but I have to be honest and say I'd never be seen dead on one. Too weird.

+1. Plus there is an annoying holier-than-thou school of 'bent owners who constantly bang on about how much better and faster they are than diamond-frame bikes with the same sort of mocking contempt for the latter that Daily Mail journalists have for the HSE. All well and good but then they do often weigh a ton and you can't easily carry one on your shoulder = complete pants for cyclo-cross.

disappointed

i like them ...round here there are no hills so they are ideal for just cruising around

There are a couple of crazies at work with them. One is a swinger with a penchant for nude swimming night at the almost local baths and the other guy is around 20 stone so I guess it is easier for him to exercise on that rather than a 'normal' bike.

Whats not to love
