oilBabe and I were talking on Saturday and she said she might ride more if she had a recumbent. She'll do 10-18 miles with me/group on a Saturday morning, but doesn't relish the idea of a longer ride. It's not that her bike is really uncomfortable, she just doesn't ride frequently enough to build the endurance. She has a Giant Cypress that is well fitted to her. She won't buy into the thinking that a narrower seat may be more comfortable. She replaced the factory seat with a very wide Schwinn offering.
She says she rides, not because she loves cycling, but because she loves me.
