Comment by Bill Welsh on September 8, 2009 at 7:49am: I toured this past summer in the Finger lakes with my Giro, pulling a Wike cargo trailer with full camping gear. Fun, but those hills! I could have used a 26 tooth small ring for sure. It was good on the recumbent though, as the body doesn't hurt as much as on an diamond frame touring bike. I know, I've toured on both. The heads up posture is nice. I used my 26"/20" wheels with good results. This combo doesn't put my feet up to high, and allows me a nice touring position on the bike. Pulling the trailer was great - it has 20" wheels as well and it pulled and tracked beautifully. I was happy with my choices.
Ride on and see the world!

Love the bent bliss!
DF's hurt...It took me 37 years to discover that there is an option! A good one too. I still ride both, but for the long haul the Giro is king.
Really though, I tell everyone that riding (anything) is the primary focus. I don't care if it's a unicycle, it's not a car!!
