WOW, 12 minutes! It takes me 30 minutes without hills. And that's 4.6 miles to the first stop in town. Hell, I drive the fuel buggy to town in 10 minutes. Decided I wanted my favorite recumbent back so I can get comfortable. I'm not ready to get another trike. But one of those fancy pine box Derby's on wheels I can crank along would be real nice. Zipping into town and around the trails and roads to other towns and cities. And NO fuel costs other then a PB&J. Sounds mighty good. -Mark Hoagy On 2/7/2011 7:19 AM, David Whitmon wrote: > Riding into town to check my P O Box is 4.8 miles.
