Hi All,
I am a dedicated road cyclist - but after numerous back and knee problems i am unable to ride my road bike without ending up in agony. I still hope to get back on my road bike - but this could be ages away. I am therefore considering a recumbent. I have done some research and come up with the following factors which are important to me:-
I would feel to daft on a three wheeler - so its a two wheeler for me
I want one reasonable high up
I would like over saddle steering - as I understand that USS - is more difficult to learn.
as cheap as possible - in case my injuries prevent me from riding even this bike.
The one that comes the closest is the Action Plus - but I can't find a price or a UK importer - annonyingly the Adventure plus is freely available for £899 - my only reservation is that is has under saddle steering.
The Bachettea giro 20 fits the bill - but is a bit more than I wanted to pay - can anyone help with any of the above.
