Kid B expressed that he might like to try a recumbent on RAGBRAI. But given that this one week is the only time he ever rides a bike he was concerned it might be too much to learn to start and stop on the crowded streets of that event. I thought it was a good excuse to buy a tadpole trike. I got a Rover, 8-speed, added a Schlumpf HSD. He was certainly slower than he has been in years past, but he said it was more fun. I'm using it to commute now. It's taken me a couple months to catch up to his mileage for that one week. I don't think that I'm over all slower than I was on the two wheel 'bent, my max speed certainly is but my average seems to be slightly higher.
My dog he got three legs, your dog fuels the trade deficit and funds terrorism.
