Good morning.
I recently purchased a s/h Kett, and I love it.
However I am struggling to find a way to mount front lights on it. If you own a Kett, any chance of a photo of how you managed to mount lights? It has non original mudguards by the way.
Thank you ..read more

This has come up on Gumtree, it's a fair way away from me, a EZ-1supercruiser, pondering should I chase after it, it would be far easier to get out on it to keep my 'bent legs spinning, but a usable bike , I do wonder?

I am thinking of riding it on the Scorpion. Does anyone know if there are any problem areas for a 'bent trike, i.e. gates or unmade surfaces?
If I know in advance I could plan a route around, nothing more frustrating than having to retrace your steps ..read more

Everyone knows the first and second best reasons to ride a bent or trike is comfort and the view. IMO the third best reason is you dont have to spend a fortune to buy the "kit" to protect you from your bike. With a bent or trike you can wear almost anything. I for instance wear rugby shorts that I can buy for $15. In the summer time my attire consists of a T-shirt and the rugby shorts. That means when I want to go for a ride, I put on my cycling shoes and ride off ..read more

I'm learning to ride my new recumbent bike. I've done about 15 miles in my local park and track, and I'm doing ok with balance, albeit still prone to wobbles when under pressure!
I've been using the local running track and so can do broad turns. I can't get tighter turns though, and can't see how it's possible. I'm a deductive learner, and like to understand how it works.
