Riding Background: I've only been riding for about 4 years. Before that, I was busy raising 2 kids and taking care of my husband. At one point in my life, I weighed over 200lbs. Through riding, healthier eating, & other exercise & I've lost 80lbs to be a much healthier person, mentally & physically.

How did you get into Recumbents? My husband Steve got me into recumbents. He purchased a Bacchetta Cafe, than we decided to get his/hers Strada's.

What Bacchetta do you ride? CA2.0 & Strada
