Bike for wife?
Nov 13
th
, 2007, 11:09am
My wife has some interest in starting biking and I'd like to get her on an easy-to-ride entry level recumbent, preferably cheap/used to see how she likes it for a while. Any suggestions on what to look for and where to look are welcome.

Seems like I've seen a couple of Burley Sand Points on ebay lately. Those and the Sun EZ-1's seem like good starting bents.
Take Care,
Nelson.

The EZ-1 is a good entry level bike, although the 16" wheel is a bit twitchy. You're welcome to borrow ours for a bit, if you'd like. Contact me offlist...
