I've been reading this forums for a while and have found it helpful. I've started cycling again after 20+ years. At first it was to get my doctor to shut up about me exercising ,now I really enjoy it. Gives me time to think when alone and time with my 14 yo daughter when she rides with me.

My name comes from the fact that I ride a long wheel base recumbent, RANS Stratus XL( Yes, I have a long inseam). I tore a rotator cuff in a fall. After surgery and months of rehab I tried to get back on a regular bike but it killed my shoulder. A friend, who rides a recumbent, let me borrow his and I was converted for life, hence the name.

What is most annoying is all the questions you get about this strange looking bike. It is long!! 71 inch wheelbase. Can also be tricky in tight turns, no falls yet.

Hope I can share with other women recumbent riders here as well.

Keeping sharing ladies. It's great to see so many women riding.
