I want a new bike. One that won't make me sick. One that won't make me talk too much, or make me feel three feet thick.No, really, I want a new bike. Or just a bike, it doesn't really have to be new. Currently, if I want to go ride I must first get out the wrench and lower the seat on one of the boys' bikes, then beg them to let mom ride it, then promise them I'll put the seat back EXACTLY where it was, and to not let any of their friends see me riding their bike, and also plan to use it when they are not using it which means this summer - THE BIKES ARE NEVER AVAILABLE. They LIVE on their bikes all summer!
So, I throw this out to all of you - give me some ideas of the best light-weight bikes out there for casual biking around on gravel and asphalt trails in the area for a 44 yr old female with a big butt. (And don't say a Harley!)

I saw this in the paper recently - I know NOTHING about bikes, this one just looked cool~
Cool Bike
Ask Cinnamon Dreams - she's a marathon biker.
I want a recumbant - but perhaps I should learn to spell it first? No off-roading for me.
I may have a bike for you. I'll let you know.
Scott J. that would be great if so!
Go to the bike shop! Surely those guys can sort you out. Heck there are TWO shops to chose from!
For what it's worth, I have a hybrid Terry cycle, which is made specifically for a woman (the expected torso reach from seat to handlebars is smaller) and I really love it.
Thanks all! I'm getting closer!
Did you get it yet?
I do not recommend recumbants for people with short legs. Hills are hard enough on a recumbant. And, your visibility to cars is less on those low riders.
Hybrid with thin tires.
Thanks again for the batter!
Well THIS short-legged woman loves recumbants because they are easier on my arthritic wrists.
