Recumbents are fast, but folders are most practical.
This one costs about $5000 (too rich for me).
The Dahon Rolhoff......

The British Brompton is about the smallest practical folding bike.
This one is a fancy titanium framed one.....very spendy!

Bikes are a great way to travel but here in the UK it's quite dangerous because there aren't many cycle paths and most car drivers are clueless. I always wear a helmet though! I have a fairly basic lightweight road bike. Mountain bikes are very popular here, I can't understand why because they are horrible heavy things and totally unsuited to road use....and 99% of the people who buy them never go near a mountain!
Helmets are a necessity.
After one bad accident.....well, not an accident....he intentionally ran me down....I'm likely alive in a non-drooling stage because of my Bell helmet.

Them "wedgie" seats take much getting used to.
Even pro racers wind up with big ole butt sores.
Recumbents let you ride a hundred miles or more with a smile instead of a grimace.
And except on uphills, they're faster.
But they're seriously nerdy.

Why did somebody run you down?
I never heard a reason, but the cops said he was disappointed I didn't have a broken neck.
He was drunk too.
The court took away his license for a whole year as punishment for attempted murder.
This is part of why I loathe drunk drivers, & want them all severely punished.

I agree, also drivers who kill and maim people through careless driving.

I've been nerdy my whole life. I gave up caring a long time ago. We're hopefully moving to the desert in a few years, maybe I'll try one out. Few hills in desert.
Be sure to have a mirror on your handlebar & also on your helmet.I've been nerdy my whole life. I gave up caring a long time ago. We're hopefully moving to the desert in a few years, maybe I'll try one out. Few hills in desert.

The great thing about many of the desert towns I've lived in is that they have bicycle lanes. Precautions obviously never fall out of necessity, but bicycle lanes are the bomb!

I have 2 old Panasonics, yes, they did make bikes.... well I had two Panasonics.... a 10 speed and a Mountain bike...... my oldest is off to college next year and he decided my mountain bike is now his.... which is ok.... it was my dad's and I decided it was mine years ago..... I now only have the 10 speed, which was originally mine....25, 30 years ago.... and I hate the seats on those things

If you forced me to wear a pink tutu and ride a bike you'd have to strap more than my mouth down.You know I just had to post this......

He demanded the tutu....& specified that it must be pink.

Well if it was his choice, I suppose I support it. I'm skeptical, though, given that his mouth is strapped closed with a pretty good sized leather strap.
What he really wanted was one of these....Well if it was his choice, I suppose I support it. I'm skeptical, though, given that his mouth is strapped closed with a pretty good sized leather strap.
But that was just to S&M for public viewing.
