Hi,

I'm looking for a recumbent for commuting to see if I get on with it. It needs to be able to cope with roads in poor condition, able to take mudguards and panniers with tyres of at least 32mm width. My commute is 25 miles each way of undulating, mainly country roads. I ride traditional bikes fairly quickly so will want something that's not too slow, thinking mid or high racer. Anything available second hand? I'm near Hereford but will travel some way for the right bike,

Also, anyone near Hereford willing to let me try out theirs?

Thanks,

John
