New bike week. I had six failed back procedures this past year (the last one actually made things worse). I decided to cross over to the dark side of the force.

My new Catrike 700 recumbent trike arrived Monday. They’re shipped by freight (18wheelers) on a pallet in a box big enough to hold two adult coffins. The bike was complete and ready to ride. They asked for my measurements ahead of time so it was already dialed in and I didn’t have to cut the chain or anything else.

I took off the stock pedals and put my own on first. Next I put my Garmin Edge on and the Garmin radar and an extra light, my road bike bag, plus a water bottle and was off. You need that radar, those lights, and that ugly flag because you are on 6 inches off the ground and hard to see without them.

No back pain, no bottom pain, no chamois cream, or any aches and pains. There’s an easy learning curve especially if you’ve already been riding regular upright bikes. No sharp turns at speed and keep the front right wheel from going off the road.

They are fast on the flats and downhills. On the former you can cruise in the 20’s easily if you’re already fit. On the latter you can reach frightening speeds if you’re in traffic.

Downside is climbing. The smallest rollers are like deploying a parachute behind you. You can’t stand up to put your weight on the pedals so you either grind or tediously spin a low gear at low speed. Most people won’t be taking them over mountains.

I looked into two wheeled recumbents but there’s a steep learning curve and cornering or u-turns on public roads can be problematic. Hills aren’t much better than a trike either. The two wheelers aren’t as nimble as a regular bike so traffic, dodging potholes, and the aforementioned climbing doesn’t make them appealing. Two wheeled recumbents also have hard stiff seats that don’t breathe like the mesh on trikes. Sales of 2 wheel bents have been declining for years while trike sales are steadily rising.

I’ll be splitting my riding time between this and my traditional road bikes. They use different muscle groups so you have to stay accustomed to uprights. I still plan on doing races, fondos, and group rides so the traditional bikes will still see some mileage.

I only have three short rides in but so far I’ve noticed that the power related numbers are down when on the trike. Heart rate is lower, power is lower, calories burned is lower etc. you’re basically not using your upper body much just your legs and different muscle combinations to boot.

Recumbents are fun but at this time they’re still mainly for those unfortunate enough to have muscular skeletal issues. Here in the states there are virtually no races or events for recumbents. You can ride a two wheeler on some local group road rides but mixing isn’t always practical on rolling or hilly courses.

I got a new bike!

I believe this is the best bike in the world, it’s super fast, the big wheels make it so easy to turn the pedals, no gears or all that nonsense, instead it has lights, a bell, and the little leg that helps it stand! My last bike didn’t even have that little leg or lights! And the bell wasn’t working either.

I got it second hand and it was dirty cheap, almost like the person selling it didn’t believe anyone would want an old bike like this, but this is everything I wanted in a bike, I’m in love and we already went to the garden and it was great.

#new bike #good bike #i'm so relieved #i can garden normally again #and forage more easily #and go to the forest #i might go traveling too if the rain stops for a bit #i'm so happy about this bike #it's the best

Sat 14th Jan:

Worked 7-3 with Uncle Manager who is doing really well atm. We had such a fun shift and it was really nice to see him so relaxed and happy after such a stressful few months. Went home ad got changed and Matt and I took his brother out for dinner. I got cauliflower katsu and it was soo good. Really enjoyed it!

Sun 15th:

Had a lovely lie in this morning which I really needed. Had a lovely long walk in the sun with Matt and Maggie and soaked it all in as I haven't walked her all week bc Matt was off work.

Had the best stretch in a long time when we got home

Had lunch, did some of my coursework, then finally got to try out the bike! I forgot how easy it is to work up a good sweat on a machine. Felt great!

India Yamaha Motor showcased its much-hallowed middle-weight supersport, the YZF-R7, at the recently concluded Indian MotoGP at the Buddh International Circuit. The motorcycle was earlier unveiled in India in July at MMRT, Chennai, and it is likely to be officially launched towards the end of this year

Ordered a new bike online that has disc brakes and a belt drive instead of a chain. It has internal gears too. It runs so smoothly. I feel like I am gliding around the city with it. I’ve attached a rack to the back and shopping around for a pannier.
