Title: About time I said Hi
Post by: mhurt on 18, July, 2012 - 15:08:56

Although I've been a lurker for years, I only became a member recently and I've already posted a few times, but I really out to post a proper "hello".

First tried a C5 back in '85, just after release, through a place on Blackpool Prom that hired them out by the hour, and I fell in love with them so much that I sometimes saved up to hire one all day. It was always a dream to own one, but I never had the chance.

Fast forward 27 years and I now suffer from a neurological disorder that totally messes up my balance, and I recently started going on tricycling sessions at a local park, which got me interested in cycling again, and a C5 seems like the answer as it's a recumbent and happens to be cheaper than even second hand recumbents.

I'm hoping to buy my C5 very soon, if all goes to plan, so fingers crossed! (now to work out how the heck to fit one in the back of a Peugeot 207....)
