recumbent bikes

I spoke too soon. My wife says we should keep it for my daughter's physical therapy.

Well I'm sure your daughter would fit in the Toyota Corolla. But I'm not so sure about the bike. Maybe we can strap it to the roof rack?

We could try strapping my daughter to the roof rack. She might think that's pretty cool.

I think I'm gonna pull the trigger on this one. Stop me if it's a mistake.

We looked into recumbent bikes for my FIL last summer, but didn't get him one for two reasons:

1. hard for cars to see recumbent bikes since they're so low to the ground, even with the stupid flag.

2. lousy turning radius. they're great in the straightaway but not great for paved-trail riding.

Does your FIL have a beard?

lol, who was that guy on CG that rode a bent?

I think he had a beard too. Totally fit the stereotype.

No. Good point.

Reason #3 we didn't get him one: no beard.

When I see someone on a recumbent I wonder what the thought process is "I know I need to exercise but this couch feels so good, I know I'll get a recumbent and be able to do both at the same time".

But......this one's stationary.
