Any recumbent riders here?..

[Brettowski]

I’d like to find out just how many “Bent” riders there are on this forum.

as a bent rider (thx to a medical issue) there are many firsts that can be achieved and it would be good to establish a knowledge base from which to establish “firsts”…. Pls share any info you may have..

I am an ex-recumbent rider, bought 2 2nd-hand recumbents in the States, shipped them back to SA 20 years back, rode them for a good few years, then sold both to go more MTB side of things…

Actually wanting to buy one of them back, but lost the buyers details, since it was so long ago!
 

1 was LWB, under-seat steering, Alu mostly, very long, partly foldable, basically the Limo of LWB recumbents, a USA LINEAR recumbent.

The other was a SWB, under-seat steering Orange Street Machine, a quick bike, quick steering, and went downhill like water off a duck’s back! Would like to find it, buy it back, and give it a make-over!
 

Then i would do a few longer- distance tours on it, say 3 weeks at a time, they are SERIOUSLY comfortable bikes!
 

Tell us a bit more about YOUR recumbent?

I'm not a recumbent rider, but I do know that the guy that runs this company does ride one occasionally:

https://www.cycletouring.co.za/about/

He's a really helpful and knowledgeable chap. If you toggle through the pictures at the bottom of the webpage I provided above, you will see photos of him on his recumbent.

I don't know if he's on the hub.
