RE: [Paddlewise] offtopic -recumbents

I too enjoy recumbents.  I have a Vision Recumbents short wheelbase bike
which I find to be very comfortable. Just as Sea Kayaking enables me to sit
upright in a nice big seat and see the world as I paddle, the recumbent gets
rid of nasty pressure points and lets me sit upright and see what I am
peddling past rather than hunching over and cursing my aching wrists.

i bought my first [and hopefully only ;-] recumbent this spring. it's
interesting... hard to ride up some of the steeper hills, since you 
can't just stand up!!

who believes you should have multiple bikes for mutliple purposes,
just like different boats for different conditions ;-)
