i have five recumbents, and know a bunch of recumbent riders, and some of them are big. if your commute isn't too hilly, you will love a bent. > I've got four big hills on the route to work (one of the nastiest is the > Longfellow bridge - at the end of the ride and a looooong steady slope). Well then, you need to rent or borrow a bent for a week and give it a shot. I learned to ride on a bent and i can now climb any hill on an upright! its a great technique builder. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=5 Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89 70.5
