Moving to a Longbike

Well after lots of thought and reflection, I bought a new recumbent. It is a Slipstream, made by Longbikes in Colorado. It is another long wheelbase, underseat steering bicycle. Greg Peek the owner of the company worked with me to assemble a touring combination that matched the needs I identified on my trip down the pacific coast. In addition I had it built with S&S couples that allow me to disassemble the frame to fit into cases that airlines recognize as standard.

The bike is a beauty and rides quite sweetly. I am introducing it to the various hills in the area.
