After reading many articles about sciatica pain and recumbent bike riding I felt it too was my story. Right now I can barely stand at times, but I can pedal for hours with no pain. I’ve always had a touchy back since a car accident in my late 20’s. So back pain was no new… Continue reading Recumbent biking helped my Sciatica recovery
We’re sea level people and riding a bike at the 7,000ft elevation can be hard. But not this day. We sailed through it, better than I ever could imagine.

Maybe later I’ll add a small 350-500 e-assist system… Continue reading Now this is a bike shop!

Hubby can’t wait for his recumbent to arrive. Anytime now!! It can’t be fast enough for him.… Continue reading March 31st and it’s 90 degrees. Boy it’s hot!
A sweet little pedal along Mission Bay. By the time we packed up the fog was definitely there. Now it’s 18 miles home to the heat.
Last Sunday we rode the new Rose Canyon bike path. It’s really nice, EXCEPT for the first 3/4 mile. It was an old poorly maintained asphalt path with over growth. But after that the path was amazing.
