    It’s those intimidating calves.

    Big Wheels are starter recumbents.

    Drop by Eden Shopping Center and try some. Then you’ll really know.

    It’s no fun seeing a mass of steel, arms, and legs bearing down on you…

    So, my two takeaways here are:
    1. Steel is real.
    2. Riders with spindly arms on crabon bikes are inconsequential.

    Works for me.

    It should fit an average 10 year old.
    It’s in very good shape. Was never raced. Price is about half of what I paid Freshbikes for it in December 2011.

    Transportation costs will accrue if I have to bring it to Mom’s.
    I thought there was another year in this bike, too. Growth spurt would have it otherwise. It can hang in the garage without going bad…

    Make that $400 rather than $550.

    I think I see the problem—you shifty people are too reliant on bar-mounted brakes.

    Kinda funny, I was behind a guy (green shirt, skater-type helmet, Northbound on MVT and the Custis around 5PM) this evening who very dramatically threw up his left arm to block the bar and helmet mounted lights on a rider heading South by the Marriott parking lot. The funny thing being that, despite his reaction to the oncoming lights, he clearly has no clue that his strobing rear light is every bit as blinding as the oncoming lights.

    Yes, that was me! That’s about my usual time heading north. Were you that guy that flew past me heading in the same direction?

    Not sure about the flying. Escape velocity continues to elude me.
    Black fixie with white tires and bar tape. Red jacket, black knickers.
    Will give a shout next time I see you.

    Beard? Headed northbound on the MVT near Gravelly Point/14th St Bridge around 0700 this morning?
    Pretty sure I saw that bike.

    That sounds perilously close to a skort.
    Can’t go there.
