Bikes of the Future
Just a quick note.
In the movie LATHE OF HEAVEN (2002) all the bicycles shown in the street scenes are recumbents. One shot even shows a couple rolling along on a recumbent tandem (looks like a RANS Screamer).
Since the movie is set in an unspecified future date, the production designer must have decided that recumbents are truly the "bikes of the future".
