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.

I have a Catrike700 (the original version converted to 18" front wheels). Love the bike, but use it very infrequently as most of my riding is commuting where filtering, locking up on streets, etc is key. Also, carrying it through a terraced house and past/over the other bikes is a hassle.
