Hello all, I'm back after a brief sabbatical from the forums. I like the new format. So kudos to the admins. for the change.

Anyway I ride a Vision R40 recumbent with a Short Wheel Base, & Over Seat Steering. Does anyone else ride a recumbent?

But if I suffered a back injury which did not allow me to ride a regular bike I would definitely get a recumbent. I love to ride too much to give up the sport, even if it meant riding a recumbent.
