Until I get my Eagle<\/a> on the road again, I’m back on a department store mountain bike sans toe clips. “Powering” away on Virginia’s heavy bike, every mile now is an earned one. Despite the fact that I am losing a lot of power by not being clipped in (I needed cleats on the recumbent, thus the crash<\/b><\/a> w\/o them), it is the kind of riding I have to do to regain the kind of fitness I need for my backwards facing HiWheel.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
And yet I will say that the Eagle is the most comfortable back I ride. The seat is major comfortable. And there is almost zero shock from the road.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
The house you see here was probably built in the 70’s. And I would say it was the\u00a0McMansion of the day back then….<\/div>\n
