the dual chain ring isolates pedal bob by bringing the power over and around the pivot.

the Hammershmidt is great shifts smooth and flawless even under pedaling force.

I ride a RANS Gliss and a RANS Stratus LE. Both are long wheelbase recumbents. Got the Stratus LE last year so it is ridden most.

Here is a photo of the Stratus LE.

I see a few supine recumbants around my neighborhood, especially near Cambridge, MA (think Harvard and MIT professors). What made you chose the recumbant over a regular road bike? Being a former roadie, I could never understand the recumabant.

Being low to the ground (and thus invisible) to motorists in urban cycling has always been a deterring factor for me.
 
i used to ride a Kona AA LX components , now i ride a road bike i picked up in the late 70's

a RALEIGH of england , super course ,suntour components , needs some TLC but it still rides nice.

That seat position doesn't look especially comfortable...
 
... What made you chose the recumbant over a regular road bike? ...

The recumbents I've ridden have been extremely comfortable, so much moreso than my upright bikes were. Have ridden for dozens of miles at a time on recumbents with no aches or pains anywhere.

You cannot stand up and pedal on a recumbent so you must downshift gears instead. That's not much of a problem here where the land is fairly flat.

Being low to the ground (and thus invisible) to motorists in urban cycling has always been a deterring factor for me.

There are a few different types of recumbent bikes. The 'bents I've owned are not much lower than uprights and certainly don't lack for visibility.

Have fun.
 
No pics, but I ride a 2008 Diamondback sorrento--don't laugh, it was only 70 bucks at a pawn shop. All stock for now--I'll upgrade the components as I break things. I already broke the pedals and bent the chainring on a big log.

For commuting I use a trek 700 multitrak. It is old, but it gets down the road pretty good. I smoked my buddy and his road bike on a 26 miler yesterday.

The diamondback replaced my old Mongoose Iboc from the mid 90s. (when mongoose made a decent bike) Chromoly frame and beaten hard. If anybody is in the NOVA region and hasn't done the Quantico trails, they need to let me know.

Cheers!
