Road Runner,
OK, I'll grow a beard. Hormones can do anything. Actually, I have several female friends who do ride recumbants, so both genders do it.
Fortunately, I have a truck, so transport is not an issue. I just will run it up the loading ramps and put it in the back and go.
I am having trouble choosing between the different architectures, but I will find one that will work for me. Changing to a recumbant is a necessity for me since cycling is my major choice for keeping health and fit. My doctor suggested I find another aerobic activity. I have looked, but other sports just don't appeal to me and resemble work (like gym in high school or P.T. in the military) and I'll end up not doing it. If I get up in the morning and say, "I must go work out." It becomes a forced activity and I won't do it. I want a sport that I can go out and play and just have a lot of fun. So, the recumbant is the sensible way to go.
