You wouldn'tBut where would I put all my bar mounted doo dads?![]()
Besides, it is hardly possible to install any thicker tyres on a recumbent bike because of the design limits.

Does the light blink though?This one might work. It even has a reading lamp for when you get bored from not pedaling.

I said "paved surfaces". Any idiot could take a bike into a wrong terrain.
Why don't you show a Dutch bike riding a rock garden.
1. Both feet down, start with throttle. Or,I'm looking at these bikes as well, but there are none in the area to test ride. I can't figure out how you would get started without falling over. I suppose you could keep one foot on the ground and use the throttle to get going if the bike has one.
Carrying a lot of gear could also create a balance issue. A rear rack would put the weight aft of the rear wheel and take weight off the front tire.

It's an 11 hr. drive from here to Louisville. I get down that way to ride trails occasionally.How far are you from North Kentucky? One for sale there.

Sounds and looks like a nice diverse ride!Yesterday, the missus and I did a 21 mi coast, lagoon, and hill ride with brunch and coffee stops as rewards. Negative caloric balance was NOT achieved, but we did climb 74 ft/mi in the process.
The rolling coast ride came first, with a tasty brunch stop for machaco tacos on the sand at Moonlight Beach. The blue Velotric Breeze is hers.
The low-traffic lagoon segment offers peaceful water overlooks with climbs that get your attention at both ends. Looks like low tide.
The reward for climbing up to the coffee stop was a blueberry crumble on that comfy outdoor sofa. From there, it was back through the lagoon segment and home.
K thoroughly enjoyed herself – even on the hills. This would've been unthinkable with her first ebike — a 70 lb 500W torque-sensing hub-drive commuter. But now — with her 50 lb 750W hub-drive cruiser with both with torque- and cadence-sensing assist modes — she's usually the one waiting on me.
Trust me, this is politically preferable to the other way around. Also energetically preferable, cuz now I can get in some exercise on our rides together.

That sounds a little ominous. Are you OK?Lovely.
And thanks to you and all for keeping this thread alive as I get my "stuff" back together...![]()
Sorry about that.That sounds a little ominous. Are you OK?
Fingers and toes crossed.Sorry about that.
Yeah, OK but just some major life changes (business partner/friend of over 40 years) fell ill and is no longer with us sadly. So numerous changes.
Also some simultaneous strange bodily changes (won't bore you) that I have some tests for tomorrow.
Nothing threatening IMHO but very odd and bad timing...
Cheers
Thanks mate!Fingers and toes crossed.
