I had a headrest, or I should say a neckrest, on my Baron for a while. I keep the seat in the full-down position, somewhere south of 30 degrees from horizontal. I found that while it was somewhat useful for resting while I was stopped, it wasn't worth the bother of keeping it on the bike. Most new lowracer riders mention building up their neck muscles for long rides, but I've never heard of a rider on a standard, American-style sport recumbent having problems. Sitting in a V-Rex is less reclined than watching TV in a Lay-Z-Boy. You may indeed be the only one. Or at least one of a vanishingly small minority.
