| 14:50.44 | manithree | youtah: Cameling is different than pythoning or OCamling |
| 14:52.06 | manithree | jlp_znc: I guess I need more Slim Jims if I'm going to keep my 'bent bike. |
| 15:19.30 | spangborn | You have a recumbent? |
| 15:21.13 | manithree | Yeah. I'm 50, and I fractured 2 vertabrea a few years ago. |
| 15:21.30 | manithree | UTA doesn't accomodate it, so I don't use it much any more |
| 15:23.41 | spangborn | Awesome, how's it ride? |
| 15:30.12 | manithree | Starting is funky (you can't shift your weight), and it's a little heavy. But if you have prostate or back problems, it's WAY better than not riding. |
| 15:44.25 | RyanE | I've wondered about recumbents. I seem to be OK on my mtn bike for the time being, but recumbents look interesting. |

| 16:07.48 | manithree | It was expensive (for what it is), and I prefer a standard double-triangle when my health permits. But I'm not getting any younger, so I'm hesitant to get rid of it. |

| 16:48.00 | jlp_znc | manithree: yep. I think recumbent bikes are cool, but I don't have one and have never tried to ride one. looks like they would be significantly more comfortable. |

| 17:31.31 | spangborn | A recumbent trike would be fun |
| 17:31.39 | spangborn | Or even a handcycle |
| 17:37.18 | romanovic | I really want a recumbent trike. It would make hills easier, since you don't have to balance while pedalling at low speed |
| 17:45.02 | spangborn | The mountain quads are pretty cool too |
| 17:45.29 | spangborn | http://14761-presscdn-0-15.pagely.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/quad-6-780x438.jpg |
| 17:53.29 | manithree | cornering on a trike sucks |
| 17:53.58 | manithree | well, turning |
| 17:54.00 | jlp_znc | manithree: you need a trike where the two wheels are in front |
| 17:54.36 | manithree | I think the one I test rode had the 2 in the front. Still can't lean into the turn |
| 17:54.38 | jlp_znc | spangborn: that quad looks like fun, but where are his breaks? |
| 17:55.16 | spangborn | Disc brakes. You can see the rotors on the inside of the wheels |
| 17:56.46 | jlp_znc | ahh. I like the super wide suspension |
| 17:57.08 | jlp_znc | and it looks like it can navigate some pretty hairy obstacles, too, with independent suspension |
| 17:57.21 | manithree | every turn feels like you're going to roll over |
| 17:57.32 | romanovic | manithree: also with the tadpole trikes, your body is so low to the ground, you can take some pretty sharp corners |
| 17:59.11 | romanovic | they make them so the butt of your seat is at the level of or lower than the front axles |
