Recumbent bikes

Roadweaver, I saw either in your blod or in a post here (yes I have been playing catch up a lot) that own a recumbent. I so want one, can you tell me which one you have and you carry it in the RV? Anyone else ride a recumbent?

I don't have one, but have done some research because I was interested in purchasing one.

Expensive. If fall off bike, not as far to fall. Getting up and out of one, well that is another matter. ;)

I have done research too, just not been able to invest in one yet. Yes getting up out of a trike recumbent can be a struggle. There are some that are a little higher than others too. A upright recumbent bike is almost as high as a regular bike so they are not the problem to get on and off unless you have trouble hiking your leg up and over! I do think they would be great fun though. I,especially like the Catrike Road model. But unlike a upright bent, a trike would be more challenging to bring on or in an RV.
