I met Greg at the Cross Timbers Classic on Victory circle. It wasn't hard to find this page with his advise. Thanks Greg! I hope you smoked them roadies like you said you would.
I bought a 1999 Rans Rocket on Ebay in 2002 with fenders, mirror, rack, taillights and water bottle cages for $700 including shipping. I've since logged about 3600 miles. I've upgraded the bars with the TerraCycle folding stem, adjustable riser and Volae wide tweener bars. I got a new seat mesh when the old one split. Topeak Panoram computer and a Rans seat bag complete the package. For the winter I have the Meuller fairing, and an underseat rack for touring longer distances.
In early 2004 I was riding an upright mountain bike on the street in Albuquerque and the chain came off the coaster brake hub cog. I was dumped right shoulder first into the concrete and suffered acromioclavicular separation, 3rd degree. I found hiking an extreme pleasure, and was able to return to cycling sooner than otherwise because of my recumbent. Since I was stuck at home on the internet for a month, reading about cycling and what to do when you are car-free and suffer an injury, I discovered the Peak Oil theory and abandoned the urge for more material possesions, high paying computer/phone suport jobs and decided to persue the cycling urge greatly. I enrolled in the mechanics courses at United Bicycle Institute in Ashland, Oregon in May 2006. My employer is now Bicycles, Inc. in Bedford since June 2006. I live a little under 2 miles from there. I am slowly convincing them recumbents are a good thing. Okay, that was BS. They tease me like crazy. I'm generally weird anyway, so used to constant torture.
