Sorry, don't have any pics.
My last bicycle ride was about 6 years ago, when I went to pick up my Jeep Cherokee. The reason for that being my last ride, was cause my second to last ride landed me in the ER.
I was hit from BEHIND if you can believe that.
An older guy driving a Honda Accord apparently did not see me and I ended up sliding down the hood of the Honda and then several yards on the road.
Before that, I used to bike 25 miles/day, and took part in several "tours" to raise money for charities.

To post a picture, go to the gallery section and click on the upload button. From there you can browse to the folder that you have your pictures and upload the picture. Once you have the picture uploaded, go to the picture, right-click the picture and click on "properties", highlight the location area for the picture and copy it. The location area starts with "http://" and ends with the name of you picture "****.jpg" Copy only the http://...../*.jpg. Start a new reply and lick on the button with the little mountains and paste what you copied there.
Example, the location for my pictures are: https://www.chevyhhr.net/gallery/fil.../file_name.jpg
Hope this helps

And on another note, you bicycle people are crazy! I got a car so I wouldn't have to ride such things.

No pictures but my ride is a classic Sears women's 10-speed. I ride because it's easier on my arthritic knees than walking. I have a problem in that my hands go numb when I lean on them while holding the handle bars. Does anyone sell the old classic handle bars? I would really love to get a recumbent bike but they're way too expensive. Is there a website that sells used ones?

It might just be bad riding position, but changing handle bars can be a pain, where are the shifters? you would need to change the brakes for sure.
do you ride with cycling gloves? they make a big difference. also get the handlebar tape thats cork or foam.
try tilting your seat back a little or raising the bars with a new stem.
Honestly though,IMHO, why not try some of the newer bikes ,the type called "comfort or cruiser" bikes, they have a plush ride and front suspension. and you can get a decent one for under 300 US
as for recumbents alot of the manufacturers do make them just ask at your local bike shop, but yes, they are not cheap.
