Recumbent bicycles - Suicide Jockeys or hip & cool...?

Ridden by people who want to look 'wacky' but who aren't that bothered about living very long.

Perfectly succinct

A mate and I have gathered possibly enough old bits to have a stab at welding up an MTB recumbant.. something for shed tinkering during the winter

Imagine one of those at Rowney Warren :shock: :shock:

If the berms didn't buck you off then the 4 feet high stinging nettles would wreck your face

Always wanted a Windcheeta, they are the coolest of the cool. But they are soooo low that when you do get run over and killed you can just take the wheels off and they double as a coffin!

Too much info here.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recumbent_bicycle

Obviously there's not enough info there as they haven't even got a pic of a Speedy (Windcheetah) or a Ratcatcher. Mike Burrows is a legend at making recumbents imho.

Never seen one in action, but they do look tremendously cool. That said, riding an ordinary bike in traffic is dangerous enough with the idiots that drive these days! :evil: These dudes are deffo playing 'Recumbent Roulette' - almost as deadly as a revolver!
