Recumbent Road Bikes
Just had my 58th birthday and hope I have many years active cycling ahead of me. I lost a lot of weight three years ago and returned to cycling. After a year's experimentaion on a second hand Halfords gas Pipe Special I spashed out of a custom made steel audax, which I love.

Yes, I know, it looks like the same vintage as me, but I am too old to cycle upside down with my nose on the tarmac.
I wondered today if I should splash out on a recumbent, just for the fun of it,;but so that, when I have a few more years behind me, I can use the recumbent more and will not have to learn new tricks as a really old man.
I have found the London Recumbent site - Where else should I be looking? What should I be looking for? What are the merits of a tricycle? Are there advantages in buying in Germany or Holland? Let's hear the advice.
I am 6ft3in tall and weigh 14.5 stone. I cycle at least 15 miles most days.
I will be living in northern Germany till after Christmas.
