Having fun with The Return of the Sunshine – BionicOldGuy

After all of the latest storms we’ve had, it’s good we’ll be getting nicely over every week of good climate. I took benefit of it yesterday with a bit of over two hours of brisk using to the west after which southeast.

I’ve my recumbent arrange in a brand new configuration with two small 20″ (iso 406 mm) wheels and the seat from my previous bike. That is snug however significantly extra aerodynamic than the previous bike so it’s quicker. Yesterday was my first lengthy take a look at of this setup and I actually prefer it. With skinnier (28 mm) tires it’s quick on smoother roads. With fatter tires like 32 or 38 mm it may well deal with rougher roads. If I need to be quicker, like for doing a Strava report try, I can put the larger 28 inch (700c or iso 622 mm) wheels on and the brand new seat which is rather more reclined. Switching among the many configurations takes a matter of minutes now that I’m used to it. It’s good to have this sort of versatility out of 1 bike. Due to this I now solely personal two bikes which has freed up some cupboard space within the storage. This additionally helps in dialog, as I don’t have to clarify to non-cyclisting fans why I would like three bikes (which will get a bit of delicate…).
