We enjoyed many miles of riding these bikes in our community.  We did a single one-week camping trip with our camping gear and stuff.  Great memories in the 40+ years we had these bikes! Now it is time for something new, we are enjoying our new recumbent trikes!” Shipping is a flat rate of $95 in the lower 48 states.
