Leah: It's a wonderful bike whose journey I've followed for years, it feels like an old friend arrived at my doorstep. Thanks so much! Kim: It's a 52, it just looks huge in the photos with 42mm tires. But it's a loong 52, I've owned shorter recumbents!  On Monday, January 1, 2024 at

Hi everyone. Happy New Year! I am the proud owner of a grey Cheviot. One of the reasons that I purchased that bike was to ride on bike trails near me (such as the Erie Canal Trail) with my wife. She and I have done a bit of riding together. However, as I am a more experienced cyclists, she

I did a couple rides around and up Mount Diablo to finish up 2023. The ride around Mount Diablo actually features steeper climbing than the ride up Mount Diablo, but they are both a good day's work. I'm going to take a run at a Mount Diablo summit on Thursday. Here's a shot of the Morgan

For the type of riding you describe either will work. Since it is for her she should go with whichever speaks to her more. Perhaps a higher price will make her treat it more delicately and perhaps ride it less OR perhaps because the Platy is fancier she will wan to ride it much more. Either
