I love recumbents! If another member of my club hadn't had to switch to them, I wouldn't own his old Litespeed.

Seriously, it's all a brotherhood of two wheels to me--although I use the word "tribe" more often. And I'll even include trikes in that too.

And I don't care what you wear or why you ride. I include the guys with trashbags full of cans wobbling along on squeaky old POS bikes in my tribe. And I include kids on Barbie bikes, roadies in lycra, and hipsters on fixies too. One day on the MUP I came across a woman with handcycle trike. She's in my tribe too.

I just can't figure out why people on hybrids don't wave.
