#HP GEKKO FX TRAINER HOW TO#
When the bike arrived, on a pallet, I took it to Robert who taught me how to fold and unfold it, shortened the boom and chain, fully adjusted it, and make sure it was in great working order before I delivered it to Katie in Massachusetts. I contacted Robert for advice on packing the bike for shipment, and he phoned the HPV dealer in Portland to decide on the best packing option. I found a good deal on a used Grasshopper Fx in Oregon. My daughter recently decided she also wanted a recumbent (back problems run in the family). Me with my Street Machine by the Hudson River. I’m really loving the Streetmachine, it’s a great bike. He’s a skilled bike mechanic and an expert on HP Velo and recumbent bikes in general. Several times, I brought the bike in for a tuneup, or to add some component, like a rear rack, and I enjoyed watching Robert work on the bike and explain what he was doing. As I started riding, over the next months, Robert was always available to answer questions by email or phone. When it arrived from Germany, Robert assembled and fully tested the bike before handing it over. It was a difficult choice, but I decided on the Streetmachine. Robert gave me a lesson in riding recumbents, then spent several hours with me while I tried out the Streetmachine Gte and the Grasshopper Fx in Prospect Park. I was specifically interested in HP Velotechnik bikes, and Robert is the local expert and dealer. In the Fall I am planning on a 10 mile race.Ī couple of years ago, I became interested in recumbent bikes, and contacted Robert Matson at NYC Recumbent Supply. I am also able to ride further with a smoother ride. It was a simple matter to put the folded Gekko into the trunk of an Uber XL.

Also, to get to the race would have been impossible with my previous trike. I really appreciate the thought that you put into the gearing system.

The Gekko is incredibly well engineered and turns well. Then some leather riding vests…old lady trike gang…it could happen. Now I just have to convince a few friends to get trikes. After that, who knows? I might take a bike vacation! Thanks for all your help and patience and continued support via email and phone. The first goal is 12 miles to a local park and back. I have not enjoyed a bike ride this much since I had a banana seat and streamers! Robert helped me see that I could do this and yesterday (after not riding all winter) I rode almost 4 miles…way more than I’ve ridden since my teen years. Robert was very patient in helping me to find a trike that would fit me (including cutting down the tube to make it just a bit smaller for me), my car and my apartment.

My hips would just be screaming (drowning out the screaming in my lower back)! Everyone said, build up slowly, train, etc. For over 15 years, I tried to return to regular bike riding, but wound up in tears within a few blocks.
