yeah, that's what I don't understand. They're always talking about (according to Spuds) "smoking roadies" and whatnot. How can they generate any power with their legs straight like that.

I think the recumbent platform is a bunch of pseudoscience supported by one truth: less drag.

But saying a recumbent has less drag than standard diamond-frame bike is like saying a luge has less drag than an ice skater. It's obvious.

But the recumbent guys take this less drag better aerodynamics thing and basically put all there cards on it.

Can they even climb normal size hills, rolling hills etc???

Sorry, recumbents make no sense to me. And they seem quite silly as well.


you literally could not pay me to ride this thing in public.
