Some of you may be aware that I had a bit of an op on the back for something relatively serious called Cauda Equina Syndrome.
Probably more of you are aware that we cycle a lot on holiday. We are going away at end of Feb and the cunning plan is to cycle disused railway lines and equivalents in Spain.
At present I have a Haibike Bosch motored E bike which has and is doing me wonderfully.
The back issue is likely to cause me to have to move to a recumbent. So far I have found out that there is a difference between 2 wheels at the front or 2 wheels at the back (tadpole and delta !) and I have no idea if I need or want electric on the bike. We were doing 80 odd kms a day on electric.
Do i need a folding one to get into a garage (Rollerteam 685). Does the singular wheel remove easily to adjust storage length on the longer versions ? Where can i go to see some within striking distance of Guildford ish area ? Should there be consideration of a tandem ? Any 2nd hand sales specialists ? What sort of style should I be looking at for a lower back injury and would the singular wheel be better at the back or the front for me ? Cycling in rain difficulties with these bikes ? Are these bikes cheaper in foreign countries like the E bikes are and are there any specialist shops or preferable countries for me to get a bit better value for money ?
I think we will be taking the usual E bike with us but totally unsure of how good it will be for me.
Any general advice as I really dont have a scooby what I am looking for
