Went out for an easy 20 mile spin this morning, and I can't decide if I like the lumbar sponge or not. At first I really liked it, then it got kind of annoying, so I re-positioned it a few times to try to find the right spot. This will need some more experimentation and maybe a slightly larger sponge.
On my DF when I intend to go out for an easy spin, I will invariably find myself hammering away at some point during the ride. I have to really focus on taking it easy. Not so on the recumbent. It's just so enjoyable to cruise along the bike path at an easy pace and take in the scenery. I could see myself using the recumbent as my recovery ride bike next spring.
