A few days ago my friend ranjtheobscure and I were chatting and he was extolling the benefits of bicycle commuting and how it would help me lose more weight and increase my fitness. I don’t disagree, but I have problems with bicycles because my back injuries don’t let me sit in that position for long. So he suggested a Sun recumbent trike, the EZ-3 ax to be exact.

I’ve been giving it bit of thought and I really like the idea. I get outside more, I get exercise, I lose weight, I get fit… The only challenges I see are the price of the trike, getting in enough shape to make the trip in the first place and the change to hollyqueen’s commute since I won’t be giving her rides. None of these problems are insurmountable, but they take some thought. The hardest one is getting in shape to make the commute by bike at all.

Do I go for it? Do I join the rank of pedal commuters? Hmmm…

I don't know what this page says but it looks like they're selling an orrey kit! I want it!
