Anyone have a Recumbent Trainer?

Anyone have a Recumbent Trainer they aren't using? I'm looking to buy or borrow a good one.

I have a Vision R-40 recumbent bicycle:

It is a short wheelbase, under-seat steering model. It is a little more difficult to ride than some newer longer models. If you are interested in a recumbent, it may be availible for a demo ride or short term loan.

Oh, wait, you said "trainer"?

Thanks, Kevin. But yeah, I'm looking for a trainer, not a bike.

You don't think I'd let anyone see me riding one of of those things in public, do you? ;)

I remember you brought that recumbent to one of our early group rides, the 2005 Sweetwater Festival Ride. I even rode it around in the parking lot a little.

As you mentioned in another thread, it might work on my trainer. Hmmm. Worth looking into. :)

Benny-
Had one that Kim used for a while and loaned it to a teacher in Madison about 4 months ago. Sit down, legs out in front model???? Decent model, older, but good quality. I'll check on it and get back with you.

One of Lori's friends just up the road in Ivey has a recumbent exercise machine that we are going to check out this weekend. She said we can use it if it is what I need.
