    Fredwina gets bent?

    I'm spending my insurance settlement before I even I get it!
    Any advice from the Kind Ladies and Gents here?
    I've actually ridden a bent before when I was in Florida - I was
    living in Tallahassee, and a bike shop there (Fool's Crow)
    specialized in Recumbent.
    I managed to get a hang of the Easy Racer and a Greenspeed without too
    much hassle, but I can recall having a hard time with a Lowracer.
    The other thing is when I was considerably younger , I tried to ride
    my tricycle down a flight of stairs. This left me with impaired motor
    ability. I ride a DF with a little wooble
    And I've had a Bike Friday - so i'm not sure about 20 inch wheels
    I've been thinking about selling my Mountain bike and getting rid of
    Hybrid (break a spoke every time you ride it) )I was looking at this

    - not quite a hybird, or getting
    a used one off ebay/craigslist
    Anyways, I still need to heal up and get the filthy lucre in my hands,
    but you can give me your two cents worth?

    Let's hope you get enough for more than one bike.

    I know nothing about bents, but the ones I've seen have back supports. Looks like a nice bike though. Anything is good as long as it gets you back on a bike!! Take care.

    Just looked at your link. It's not really a bent but looks like a great bike.

    I sat on a bike like that. I found it odd and uncomfortable.
    Have you tried one yet?
