Question:

how to build a recumbent bike seat?

HiI'd like tips on how to build a back on a normal bike seat.My only idea so far is to bend an aluminum tube into a V-shape and weld it to a tightening-ring-thing attached to the seat tube, so that it goes up or down along with the seat.I hope the description is clear.Looking foward to your ideas.Thanks

Answer:

I've had good results from Actionbent and the Actionbent distributor that is in the Seattle areaI actually picked mine up personally and I really liked it! I still have one of their trikes and love it, but ride my upright (diamond frame) bikes more often, just for better visibility because I commute about 18 miles each way, but about 8 miles are on roads where I worry about visibility, the remainder on trailsAnyways, I think that Actionbent really offers a great product at a great price for an introductory product that is better than just an introductory performerNot to say that you won't later want something a little more expensive (well, probably a LOT more), but it's a cheap and easy way into the recumbent sport.
