Curious ... do any of you recumbant folks swap and ride your upright now and then? If so, how often/frequently? And, what are the quibbles you have or notice when switching between the two.

I ask because ... I was introduced to HPVs / Recumbants back in 1991 and 1992 in Columbus, IN where they were nearly ALL home-grown contraptions. And, many folks built shells for them and raced in crit-like ovals in parking lots, etc.

We bought a couple lightnings (I think that was the brand - square metal frames) that same year ... boy are those things heavy and terrible to steer!

But, I have several friends who ride (i.e. a EZ, and a Bachetta come to mind) bents and we get together every couple weeks to ride.

I'm VERY interested in getting one. But, I LOVE my Trek 5200 (old 1992 model). I simply love the whole idea of bents.

I think I WANT every type of bike ... as I have a upgright Tandem on order from my LBS currently.
