Brilliant. They are allowed on motorways, right? And I could cover 37 miles in about 40 minutes on one, right? If the answer to either of those questions is no, then its no use. I have to drive on a motorway to get to work - its a bridge and the alternative is to drive round, which adds about 100miles to the trip. As far as timing goes, I have to drop 1 son at school, then the other son at his playgroup, then arrive at work 37 miles away on time. My work is in a different district and to travel by bus or train would cost a fortune and take several hours.

Then..... you just *shouldn't*.... *OK*? :-) I nsuppose you could ask Doug for a considered report on your available options for a non-car lifestyle for your family.

You seem very interested in lots of aspects of recumbent bicycles. Instead of asking every question under the sun, why don't you arrange to test ride one? You'll probably find the answers to most of your questions that way. Colin -- Murphy's Law � If anything can go wrong, it will.
