that worried about it, maybe you want to go that route too. But fair warning: it's a 'road less taken,' it's relatively expensive, and people inevitably think you're either disabled or just plain weird.

I don't think a recumbent is anything I'd be in to now, but I do want to try one sometime and that is a cool-looking one. It looks like the chain is going through like 2 feet of tube ahead of the seat, is it? why? is that noisy or is it a plastic tube or something?
