I find that it's a great choice for those of us who don't want to "permamently" add a rack (or those who don't have the mounts).

Sorry to divert off topic for a sec here but Charles, I was wondering how you like having the drive wheel in front, as a the "steerable" wheel on your recumbent. In my "imaginings" I have thought that shortening the drive train to the easier, more direct connection to the front wheel would have advantages but wondered how that would work with steering. I have thought that it would not be an issue at speed but but slower more intricate maneuvering might be a bit compromised.
