Title: Got the neighbors attention!
Post by GrandpaPhil_Bent on Jul 29^th, 2009, 9:04am

Since I just bought my EZ-1 this past Saturday, I have only ridden it three times - all pretty short rides in my immediate neighborhood.
Last evening, on my third short ride, as I came back to my house both of my neighbors were out front staring at me. [smiley=jawdrop.gif]

One asked me, "Is that a motorscooter?" I said, "No, just a bicycle."

The other said, "I've never seen anything like that before. What kind of bicycle is that?"

"An expensive one," I said. [smiley=grin.gif] "It's called a recumbent." And off we went talking for about thirty minutes.

The thing is, I haven't talked to my neighbors that much in a long time.

So my new EZ-1 is a help in maintaining community relationships. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

You can't be an introvert and enjoy riding a 'bent...

But don't tell 'em it's expensive... just say "It's worth it!" [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
