Before moving here I rode my bike---a lot! Brought it down but never used it as even 15 yrs ago the traffic would give us pause. NOW, it's worse and with recombants (I've never had one) it looks like a "death wish" to me....especially those low to the road ones. I don't know how the rider can see, especially over bushes etc. Even with the flags these folks sometimes aren't that visable----but that's just me. I'm with one other person's post---rent one and see before buying. Then good luck!!!

Question for the old timers here: were the MMP in the mid and northern areas always MMP, or were they “retrofitted”?
I see recumbent bikes, e-bikes, hikers, dog walkers, and the occasional baby stroller frequently. I’m actually surprised there aren’t more accidents. Separating the carts from the cyclists and walkers, as they seem to have done south of 44 is one of the best thing about all the new villages. |

Don't let that stop you from enjoying bicycling though. Just be aware that there are risks involved and you have to ride (or walk) defensively. |

Seriously? It gets tiresome hearing all the hate for New Yorkers. 335 million people in the USA, and someone beeps at you so they must be from NYC? Cut it out.

It is kinda humorous though to hear all the horns blowing in the city. So much so that it doesn’t take long to ignore them and simply think of it as background noise. |

As I posted earlier we recently bought a pair of recumbent bikes, prior to trying one I was a skeptic as well. They are very comfortable to ride and you find yourself putting in many more miles than on a standard bicycle. No neck pain, no knee pain, no wrist pain, they are a treat to ride.

I am also a pretty defensive bike rider and will take the necessary safety precautions when riding a recumbent. |

I hope wears helmet elbow and knee pads. Very fragile at that age.

iT IS BAD ENOUGH ON A BIKE, A trike takes up more room on the road is lower and people have less experience with them. It also takes more room in your garage. |

You can run lower pressure, to a point, in the front tire. You can change the handle bars. At 58 most of us can call you sonny. |
