If I had access to a trail system like so many people in Colorado (and a few other places), then I would be looking at recumbents - maybe 2 of different styles.
Rightly or wrongly, I feel more visible and slightly less vulnerable riding diamond frame on the hilly, narrow public roads I ride. Further, I rise from the saddle for leverage on several climbs on every ride I take. Topography, for healthy living. Then there's the chain thing....
this is what SWMBO wanted - for visibility. Co-Motion with ghosted decals. Steel from the last millennia.
