I actually got my recumbent as a result of kayaking-induced shoulder tendonitis (the kayaker's dreaded rotator cuff tendonitis). I found it harder and harder to ride an upright bike- too much shoulder pain.

My bike is locally built by a specialist recumbent builder, Wayne Kotzur. It's purple, with red wheels and a black seat. My main initial gripe was lack of rear vision. I got motorcycle mirror from a mc wrecker and had wayne attach it. It's large and gives ample rear vision.

Shoulder tendonitis has receded to a significant degree now after much effort but I still ride the recumbent, and am able to kayak (and type) again
