Can You Keep Your Recumbent Trike Legs While Training on a Road Bike? 

Thanks. I especially like the music as well as the info

When I had my Catrike 700, chipseal was a real nemesis. If I rested my neck against the neckrest and made a sound with my voice, the sound would be very shaky as I was being incessantly beaten to death by those miniature irregularities, and on the VTX rigs, it is exactly the same. You two are exceptionally fortunate to have such an amazing cycling path like that! Nothing of the sort exists anywhere close to where I live, in a rural coastal community. I think just large cities actually have the means to construct non-motorized paths like you are riding (there are advantages to living in larger population areas! The neck craning you spoke of is definitely a consideration on race trikes like the 700 and VTX, with their extreme 25 degree seat angles.I like the super reclined seat however for comfort most of the time. On my Scorpion, the seat is much more vertical than your trikes, so the neck thing is not even on my radar. On 700s and VTXs, neck rests are an essential component, but on my current trike, I do not even have one, and so far, I have not thought that I need a neck rest. One thing I do NOT envy you two for is the 101 degree heat! Makes me feel lethargic at those temps ... ahh, my coastal cool air is always perfect for pedaling! The temp here today on my trike ride was about 60. Yep, gotta' luv it! Oh, nice musical score too (sounds like a big screen movie track). See ya' ... 😆 steve

We finally dried out and now it’s way too hot. I may have to opt for a night ride. Happy riding!

My lesson learned at age 70 is road bike Diamond frames are just murder on my body. When I want a change of pace from my two Catrikes I jump on my LWB Sun EZ Sport bent for the two wheel fast experience. I can ride recumbent forever and ip and down any hills. Living in New England I don’t have to mess too much with extreme heat! Great video. Thanks

I am out in the K.C. area. Sure wish I could hang with you fellas for some rides. Someday!!

Informative and interesting. Real world comparison of actually riding both diamond frame bicycles and recumbent trikes. Enforces value of BOTH full recumbent support and lack of any needed balance! FWIW: If 101 degrees inland, one would be literally shower-dripping wet and wringing out a worn head band sponge every 15 minutes maximum. Thinking 20-25% humidity there. Sweat-free faces in 101-degree weather! WOW! Humidity level MUCH, much more debilitating than actual temperature!

I like the music.

I used to switch up riding a mountain bike (but on roads and trails) and the trike... but my moutain bike has hung silently in my garage for years and I pretty much only ride the trike now.

One thing I have noticed about your trikes is the lack of headlights or front reflectors, that is one item I have on every bike I ride.

I am not clear on your riding days but I would alternate Bike/ Trike days. Ride the Road Bike 3 days in a week and the Trike Two. The following week ride the Trike 3 days and the Road Bike 2. You probably know this, but just in case..a. BTW a year round weight lifting program helps as well. I would even do1 or 2 Combo days ,Bike-Weights / Trike-Weights. Just a thought...

Have you tried touring bikes for cruising in comfort?

Do you ever have problems with perspiration and sunscreen in your eyes?

Are you guys twins.

Short answer: doubtful!!! road bikers are a great way for weaklings to have the sensation of being powerful
