bentrox!

I met bike tourists twice last summmer while out riding. Both were European guys on short wheel-based bents touring the Great American West. Each remarked on how few American recumbents they had encountered, given our country's size and population, and how curious it was that none of the American bike-tourists they'd met seemed to be familiar with the obvious comfort advantages of recumbents for long-distance travel. Mind you, neither was preaching (I was on my own recumbent) but rather just voicing their perceptions on the subject.
