So how many recumbent riders have we?

[Bluemanc100]

I’ve narrowed down my favourite Bent to the Bacchetta “Stick” Bike…. I’ve had a few, Nazca Fuego, Bacchetta Giro with 24” wheels, Cruzbike S40 and the Bacchetta Ti Aero which is now my preferred weapon of choice.. The only bike I’d swap it for is a Bacchetta CA2.0 or 3.0

Well, a lot has happened since Oct 2021. In November 2021 my wife decided to join me with a TerraTrike Rambler, used, but in Mint condition. While it was in the shop for fitting and tune-up, she bought me a 2021/22 WheelWiz TerraTrike "Greenspeed Magnum XL in Fossil Grey". It is huge, but so am I. LOL. I just added some Midsole MTB STD Cleated Shoes that are in the mail. It is good.

Yesterday was the big reveal: I bought CycleDesign shoes, SPD Cleats, and Shimano pedals. I reached 24.1 mph on my short speed run. Without these components I could only do 20.8 mph at best. I HIGHLY Recommend Clipless. Soon I may try Magnetic cleats and pedals. My trike is the Greenspeed Magnum XL at 45+ lbs. LOL

This was late last year.
Set up for touring then but now I'm on 700c with bigger gears.
I have a carbon seat I'm in the middle of fitting so when I've done that I'll post up the racing model lol

You just need a steeper downhill!

I restarted cycling 10 years ago getting myself a Croix de Fer (doing a fair annual mileage and a couple of 2 month tours in EU). But things happen and almost 2 years ago I got my ICE Sprint X Tour and love it. Managed over 4000 miles 2022 including 5 week camping tour in Europe.

Just out of curiosity how many of us here are recumbent riders (bike or trike)?

I've got a HPV Street Machine.

What about the rest of you?

Optima Baron low racer rider here. I also have a stowaway trike I occasionally ride.

Something I'd like to give a go with, but couldn't buy one as we don't have the space to keep it - !
My preference would be for scorpion handelbars not hamster though; seems more relaxed.
