Just because it is fun? Isn't that a sufficient reason? I enjoy racing, even though I don't win too much. I still like it and I do the best time I can.
And by the way, I was just over in the road cycling forum. A guy was asking for advice about penis numbness on his road bike. Someone recommended a recumbent but that was immediately disdained as a cry for help?
I have never understood the anti recumbent ranting. I have ridden many bikes, have never not had a bike, and I have enjoyed them all. I began riding recumbents because they are so cool. Why different geometry makes a difference is a bit of mystery, at least to me. So, I guess I just don't care what those boyos think.
Anyway race on mates, I hope to see you guys on the starting line.
