I have QuickTime on my computer and wanted to play some linked QuickTime
movies on Row Bikes. Instead of being usable, the QuickTime links take me to
an upgrade site set up by Apple.
Just one more reason why Apple has lost ket share - I just wanted see
some Row Bikes, and instead have to put up with endless ads.
Has anyone used a Row Bike? What is it like.
For anyone wondering what a row bike is visit www.rowningbike.com

Now for those of you who think that fast is not that hot, but comfort is,
visit www.bikeforest.com and watch the couchbike movie.

> Has anyone used a Row Bike? What is it like.
I met Scott Olsen nine or ten years ago at Interbike [when it was still
in California], and rode the prototype of his Rowbike there; it was a
bit heavy and clunky, but I was surprised at how well it steered, and
how quickly I could rocket away from a stop with one great manly heave.
A few years later, in Spring 1998 I rode a much better production model,
and found it to be a surprisingly good bike. I enjoyed rowing it about
on level ground, but I certainly wouldn't want to row it up California's
mountain passes, which I have done on both my old Fuji and my Tour Easy.
The newest Rowbike is somewhat shorter then those earlier versions, on
which the seat was stationary, and the rider's feet would push against
the bottom of the rowing lever, rather than against stationary pegs, as
on the new model.

Re: Recumbent Racer Glen Drury sets course record
That is quite an impressive accomplishment. Who is the rider and what bike did he ride? Was he in a F-40?

Recumbent cycles entered the 400km cycle for the first time (as a separate category), with Glen Druryclocking the impressive time of 11:57:37. With the popularity of the recumbents, the race is likely to be open next year to other specialist cyclists (all scored in different categories). Of the regular cyclists, the best time was from David Simpfendorfer of the Filthy Armadillo team, with 13:46:17.

Actually Tom, I think they're talking about something other than the Thys...
which is the top-of-the-line rowbike, as far as I'm concerned. Although
Warren Berger has an afterket upgrade to the Thys that makes it even
better. I rode Warren's bike briefly, on my way down to that... you know...
misery thing.

well they did save you money as I have heard no good about them from people who
owned them. mostly that they don't give you much of a workout and hills are
peaty jerky.
