When I decided to cycle to work, I wanted to make sure that I could use the the journey not only for exercise but also to rest, sounds a bit of a paradox doesn't it.

I believe that a recumbent will allow me to exercise but not in a physically damaging or unsustainable way, I currently ride a conventional bike, and do occasionally get aching wrists and twinges in my back, I am hoping that all this will be at an end when I get my recumbent through the Cyclescheme.

I have chosen a Nazca Fiero from Laid Back Bikes in Edinburgh, where I went for my test rides of some recumbents.
