thank you every one for all your input. I posted a continuation of this under "bikes" since I now think i'm considering 2 different bikes. Hope to hear some thoughts under that thread.

I also just started riding again 2 years ago. I have a Specialized comfort bike which I really like. Could never ride more than 25 miles though without extreme knee pain. I tested a recumbent and it sure made a difference. The first weekend I was able to ride 25 miles on Saturday and then 38 miles on Sunday without any problems.
Am now awaiting the delivery of my recumbent. Know I will gladly exceed my 600 miles last year in greater comfort.
Regardless of what type of bike you get hope you are able to get out and enjoy it.
Hi, just saw your post about recumbents, and even though I just purchased a bike, I'm still looking at recumbents and trikes, they have me entriqued!
I'm hoping on Thursday this week to get to some shops to ride a few... I sat on a couple, but was intimidated by the leaning back... any way, what recumbent did you get? also, how are you planning on transporting it? I didn't get that far but they seem wider than a regular type bike.
