Rides like that tend to attract a large number of, shall we say, 'less serious' cyclists; so seeing very few if any 'bents isn't surprising. I bet you saw more than a couple of 80s-vintage garage hangers.
It was the Chicagoland T de C. ( edited OP, sorry) For the short rides there were a lot of hybrids etc., for the longer ones, there were alot less riders, and alot nicer bikes.
That was what's surprising, Northern Illinois the home of WISIL/HPRA etc. You'd figure
someone would've shown up.
