Recumbent Exercise Bicycles

Why should I NOT buy a Sun Recumbent Tadpole or USX? I want a recumbent trike. I am not wealthy. I test rode a Sun Tadpole & a Sun usx. It was fun, but things just did not seems to work as great as I would expect them to. I am pretty illiterate when it comes to talk about bike components. Please share your opinions on Sun recumbents &/or make other suggestions that won't break the bank. I am a casual rider looking for a comfortable trike.

I just purchased a Sun recumbent trike and love the way it rides. I need a trike rack trailer or ramp for it? Where could I find these items? I also need a basket for behind the seat.

Any reviews good or bad on the Sun sunray recumbent bike?

If the nearer Earth moves to the sun in its orbit the cooler it gets does it follow? that the southern Hemisphere would be cooler than the northern Hemisphere at any identical latitudes.This in my opinion would be due to our slightly recumbent axis.

How well made are Trailmate Meteor trikes? This is a rehash of a 3-year-old question--similar but not quite the same-- I am going to purchase a recumbent trike for under $1000, so far I am looking at either a Sun EZ 3 recumbent trike or a Trailmate Meteor. I have read good things about the Sun but can find nothing on the Meteor. Any opinions on either would help in my decision.

Anyone riding a Sun EZ-1 Super Cruzer Recumbent? What kind of speed can you maintain on this bike? How did you learn to climb hills? Looking to use this bike for a 40 mile daily commute, any suggestions?

Car mount for recumbent trike? I'm looking for a way to mount my Sun EZ recumbent trike on my car (a Saturn Sedan) so I can go on bike trips. It has one wheel in front and two in the back. It is approx 47 inches long and 29 inches wide at it's widest dimension (the rear where the 2 wheels). It weighs about 50#. I've found specialty mounts and hitches that cost $300 and up, but I'd like to find something in the $100 or less range. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Recumbent Trike Suggestion? I am looking to purchase a recumbent trike. I have a Sun delta, but would prefer a tadpole. I am a casual rider, and am looking for a trike in the $1500 range. I am mostly interested in commuting and touring. I have seen the WizWheelz TerraTrike Cruiser and the ActionBent. What are your opinions of these two trikes? Which would you recommend? Would you recommend a different one altogether?

Eggbeaters and tricycles? Hello, I'm looking at going clipless on my adult recumbent trike (A Sun EZ-3). Eggbeaters were recommended.

Are there any trikers here who've gone clipless? Thanks, Cullen

Where are you going today??? Somewhere or nowhere?? “What advantage does man have in all his work which he does under the sun?” ECCLESIASTES 1:3 Have you been to the gym lately? Every time I work out, I am astounded by the array of exercise equipment—stationary bikes, recumbent bikes, treadmills, stair climbers. You get on them, and you go…nowhere. In fact going nowhere is part of their design. The point is not to get somewhere—the point is to expend as much energy as possible for as long as possible while you are going nowhere. Every time you step off the treadmill or the bike you are in the same place that you began. It seems we are a culture dedicated to getting nowhere fast. We want to know how to do things: to get fit, lose weight, achieve financial success, find love—and we want to do them the quickest possible way. “How?” questions are the most frequently asked questions in this life under the sun. But the real question in life isn’t “how?”, but rather “why?” Why be successful? Without God where are you going?

What do you think of my creative writing piece? We were supposed to describe manifestations of an abstract quality. I chose peace. The wildflowers fluttered in the wind, and then fell silent, as if guilty for disturbing the stillness. The sky, an endless, unmoving, unchanging blue, stretched to the ends of the world, wrapping it in silky soft arms, like a sanctuary. Only the faint sound of water so distant, falling down, down below, resounded, fading into a pleasant hum. Only the occasional little ripples on the otherwise recumbent surface of the lake gave away the stirring of soft breezes. There was no other sound, no other sign of movement. It was as if the warmth of the sun had lulled the world to sleep, as if the world itself had stopped for a blissful moment in its inexorable march to delight in the breathless beauty of the day. There was a certain loveliness in the simplicity, in the serenity, an ecstasy in a single, wistful moment of Peace.

Little old lady seeks advice regarding choice of recumbent tricycles.? I went to the bike shop and test drove a few. The very knowledgeble salesman thinks I will be happiest with a Sun EZ3 AX. Looking over the catalogue tonight I see that it has 27 speeds. This seems like overkill for a little old lady who has no desire to race or even ride fast (or far). In addition I'd like something low maintainance. What are your thoughts? ADD-One passed me going down the wrong side of the road while I was stopped in traffic. It was scary. I'll make sure people see me coming and I'll ride during the times when there is the least traffic to contend with. I have fibromyalgia. The traditional bike stresses my neck and shoulder muscles and takes all the fun out of riding. Balance is an issue for the same reason. Having the single wheel in front gave the trike a tighter turning radius. I would love to get a bench across the back for my Standard Poodle. It wasn't at all clear from the illustration just how that would work.
