I am now a recumbent owner

Well, it's confirmed. Just paid for my new (to me) recumbent bike from Kevin at Dtek. He's shipping it up to me on Monday for delivery Tuesday. It's a lovely yellow Bacchetta Giro plus mudgaurds and a bag. Very excited. Will have to build it when it arrives so that should be interesting. Joy!.

Welcome to the Dark Side.

You will not regret it

+1 the thought of doing more then 10 miles on an upright feels me with dread. The thought of doing more then 100 miles on the trike feels me with pleasure.

Did 50 miles on my upright on Sunday, a lot for me, and my bottom still hurts. I must get my trike built back up again - I'd still be tired, but my bum wouldn't be complaining. I just wish I had somewhere at home to store it, as opposed to a lock up across town... (the trike, not my bum...)

It has arrived. It is sat in two boxes behind my desk. Can't wait to get home and build it up.

I've got a Bacchetta Cafe here in Orpington. If you want a try out PM me. Riding position is practically identical to the Giro. I love it ! !
