So how many recumbent riders have we?

1995 Re-Bike "compact long wheelbase" recumbent made in Florida, and a 2015-ish KMX Typhoon trike made in Britain.

They're so much more comfortable than uprights, I wish I'd discovered recumbents long ago.

Hi everyone. Just joined here after buying my first recumbent last month: a used Ice Sprint, c2018-19?, the version with 26" rear wheel and no suspension. Sadly no mudguards either: must fit some so I can keep riding it through the wet weather. Some of the 2-wheel recumbents I've seen here look appealing too: maybe I should get one of them next...

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?

In the early 20s during the China flu scare, the local recumbent shop had a hard time keeping tadpole trikes in stock. People wanted to to be out away from other people. And almost anyone can ride a tadpole trike.

Hi everyone, just joined after buying my first recumbent. Still learning and not confident enough to go play with the traffic yet.

Challenge Mistral, no idea how old.

Will post photo at the weekend.

Looks Ace! Find a quiet cycle track / good soft ground and practise stop/start (maybe with a helper) for a long as possible.

PS - Enjoy!
