Time for New Bikes

Due to some problems I decided it was time for something different. I have been experiencing some discomfort caused by the seat on my bike, due in part to my Prostrate cancer which has re occurred after failed Brachytherapy, which leaves no treatment options that are acceptable. They told me this was normal and to try to find something to be more comfortable, after several seat options, none of which are cheap I decided to go Recumbent Trike. I bought a Sun EZ Tad SX-Comfort 24 speed in Metallic Red, can't wait to ride it!

  In the process, Judy and I discussed her options and she said what she would like to try, we went to Mead's Bike Shop in Sterling, Il and she tried several options and actually ended up with the updated version of what she has been riding, now instead of a Trek PURE  Feet First 7 speed, she now has on order a Electra Townie 21 Speed (no it is not an Electric Bike)
Electra is the company name, a company Trek bought. She said it is really easier to ride than her old Feet First PURE. And the 21 speeds will certainly help on the steeper hills, but to her credit she can grind out the steepest hills!  One interesting note this bike has a built in Generator in the front wheel that powers the head and tail light!

Hopefully the new bikes will be in next week and we can start riding them and report back.
