Recumbent Gals


This week my mom, Sylvia, and daughter Angie came to visit and I had the week off. At one point we took a test ride of some bikes at the Easy Racer showroom in Watsonville. We rode around the parking lot on these trikes and some recumbents and generally had a bunch of fun goofing off. We also really liked these things for transport, though. It is so comfortable on the "tadpole" trikes that Angie and Sylvia are on here. You would really have to be careful about the sunscreen riding these, though, cause it is just like laying out in the sun in terms of exposure to UV. You can see I am having a little difficulty getting started on the bicycle model I am testing. The usual tricks of riding a bike don't apply as well to these cause your leg action doesn't go up and down, but in and out.
