今日再向大家介紹一款並不常見的單車叫 recumbent 或可叫横臥車.
這類車是單車中最舒服的一種, 因躺下來踩, 脊柱不用坐直,所以踩了很長時間都唔會脊骨痛.
再適合用作長途旅行或24小時長途單車賽用.

這類車另一特點是, 因車身比賽單車更流線所以在下山時,極速可以高達七十公里以上, 非常刺激.

但亦有幾個弱點:
1.  睇位難, 因你卧下來踩;
2.  上山難, 在上斜坡開車時不能靠踏在踏板(pedal) 發力;
3.  轉彎較難, 因車身比普通車長所以轉彎並不太靈活方便.

我買了這單車近兩年, 但始終用它不多, 八成時間都是踩 road bike多.  但知自己將近花甲之年所以提早買定以作練習.

謝謝參觀,

Most of the people who bought this is because they have a bad back and can't ride regular bike for too long at a time.
I bought it because I want to explore the speed potential.  I have it equipped with some racing stuff like Zipp carbon wheels (not shown) and upgraded the whole drivetrain from 9 speed to 10 speed, etc.

次次緊火

踩吐露港果時經過科學園見到有間單車舖裡面有好多呢類車, 價錢都過萬以上.... 而且香港地小, 路又窄好難搵地方踩呢種車

我未見過 city路上有人踏. 這種 bike 應該係 country 先有人踏掛

踩這類單車相當费神和小心, 如果多車時我都唔會用.
