| | Re: switching from a trike to an upright?
I ordered an EZ-1 through my LBS, paid 504 less 10 discount, got it at
the end of March, have rode 1300 miles on it. Last Feburary, I rode a
touring bike for 18 miles, my rear was sore for 2-3 days. Thursday June
17 I rode my Ez-1 on vacation from Anaheim to Griffith Park, Observatory
was closed but ate at the golf course club house, down to La Bareta Tar
Pits, then down to the Santa Monica Pier for dinner. Rode the beach
bike path down to Marina Del Ray, took the roads around that, then back
on the bike path to Rolling Hills. Headed East into Long Beach and back
to the motel. 125 miles 14 hours pedaling 20 hours elapsed.
