Description

I lurves it!! <3 (Took me years to finally get it, and had to have it imported from the Sun Cycle Center in FL, via BightFlights.com.) This bike has allowed me to actually start biking again, which is a BIG deal, because my health issues had prevented it for so many years. Now I bike every day that I'm able to, whenever the weather permits. All other bikes I had tried either hurt my back, butt, shoulders or wrists, and I could only ride for a short time before giving up. Now I can bike for 30km or more, no problem, no pain at all, and I use the engine mainly to get up hills (hills that I would normally have to walk my bike up), and turn it off on the flat stretches.

The bike is a semi-recumbent ("crank-forward" style) Day 6 Journey, small frame, in dark champagne (though it looks grey here), and the engine/battery is from OXYDrive, bought separately. The seat is a Contour Seat kit, which comes with a back rest and storage pack, and is by far the most comfortable bike seat I've ever sat on (no butt pain AT ALL, no matter how long you sit on it!). I still have to install the rear rack, and may add a basket to the front (haven't decided yet), plus a headlight, brakelight, rearview mirror and waterbottle holder before it's all complete. :) Anyway, just had to share, because I'm so happy with the newfound freedom it's given me! :D
