This is a Spokes MEDIUM Pace ride, average speed up to 9 to 11 mph organised by Spokes SW Herts Cycling Group led by PAUL
Come along to The Cafe in the Park for half an hour on Saturday, 3rd October to try a recumbent - with full instruction, help and escort on a flat tarmaced route (1 mile) around the Batchworth Lake, Rickmansworth.
Why? I Googled "what makes a recumbent bike fun to ride?" and here's the reply;
"A recumbent bike is fun to ride because it feels like an armchair on wheels. You lean back against a supportive seat instead of perching on a hard saddle. This removes all pain from your neck, back, and hands, letting you enjoy the scenery and cruise with ease."
I only have one recumbent, and can only escort one person at a time anyway; so please advise your preferred start time in 20 minute slots by message in the Lets Ride website/app - 10:00, 10:20, 10:40, 11:00 etc., up to the last one at 15:00. Please ignore the ride duration - the system limits this to a minimum of 60 minutes.
And just to be clear - you will not need to bring along your bike; if you do, it will be locked up at the cafe while you experience a recumbent
The pedal boom extends and retracts to accommodate differences in leg length, and is locked with an Allen key.
