I have posted this on several forums when it comes to recumbents. Probably over 99% of recumbent riders have ridden thousands of miles on DF bikes. I did. So-------------we have first hand knowledge of the differences between DF and bents. That means that bent rider posts are based on expierences of riding both, and are more believeable. So many posts that berate bents are posted by DF riders that have never ridden a bent. They are mainly just posting old wives tails that DF riders have said for years.

There just is too many compelling reasons for most cyclist to ride bents. Most cyclist that ride for fun and exercise would be far better off on a bent.
