“…To be used mostly on forest service type roads and on paved roads.

Thoughts or other suggestions welcome.”

Well, here’s the other suggestion. I think I’m the only recumbent rider here. I easily put 3,000 miles/year on mine. When I had a wedgie bike, I did way less miles.

From day one, I never had sore gludials. And I don’t need padded biking shorts. I have a Bacchetta Giro 26. It has the most comfortable seat I ever sat in. There are many other health benefits of a recumbent which I won’t go into here.

This is my commuting bike and touring bike. I still use a mountain bike for the hills. However, my biking buddy uses his recumbent for mountain biking using 2” knobby tires.

My wife, after about 3 hours, will stop and take a nap on her bike w/o getting off. She rides/drives a Catrike Pocket.

Most recumbents are hand made so they cost a pretty penny.
