"New to me", Bike-E Recumbent Bikes

Well the deal is done, we are now owners of two used Bike E recumbent bicycles. :) Mine is the RX model, which is a 27 speed with a Mid-drive set up, in the day it was their "Go Fast Model". JoLynn's is a AT, it has rear "air suspension" shock it is a 21 speed, with a 7 speed rear cluster and a 3 speed rear internal hub set up. NOTE* Well, since JoLynn's heart attack back in Jan. she's healed well BUT she seems to have LOST a lot of her ability to "BALANCE" a bicycle. She's decided to only ride on our Recumbent Trike Tandem! I will see if our daughter, Jenn might want the Bike-E AT model, if not I will just sell it!


My Bike E (RX) is mainly for just  kick'in around rides when JoLynn's at work or doing something else and we can't be on the Terra Trike Rover  TANDEM, which is still our "Main Ride"!! I bought these for EXCELLENT price, especially for "two machines" from a fellow recumbent rider on Cannondale "full suspension" bike, in Denver.  Looking forward to the first ride soon! :)
