Does anyone know where I can rent a recumbent bike to try them out? I live in San Francisco, and would be willing to go anywhere in the Bay Area to ride one for a couple hours.
I don't know about rentals, but Zach Kaplan in Alameda will let you go on very long test rides. He charges a nominal fee for it.
Zach is a good guy and a very knowledgeable recumbent dealer with a great selection of 'bents. I bought an Rans Rocket from him a year ago and love it.
Good luck, rich
