I've done a 50 miler on it.

It's probably 7 or 8 yrs old.

My local bike shop guy let take this for a weekend and after hundreds of miles of a tiny bike seat being crammed into you know where, I was set free! I'll never ride a conventional bike again! I've put lots of miles on it and it is extremely comfortable. I can cruise @ 18+ mph quite easily when I'm in shape. It's 21 speed and works well!

Yup. Recumbants are really comfy.

I know a guy that rides one of the all around town, very often too, when the weather permits. When he isnt riding that he's riding an old Harley. And when he isnt riding the old Harley, hes driving around in an old black Cadilac Hearse w/personal plates that say DEDFR8. Interesting man, lol. Anyway, he swears by the recumbent. I've never been on one yet, myself.
