Common sense and logic are starting to take hold
If you are not mountain biking, or racing, common sense and logic dictates that a recumbent bike or trike may be the right machine for you. This is especially true for the baby boomer riders that want a good way to exercise. Bents provide exercise without the pain associated with biking. Further bents allow a person to sit upright so the rider can actually see the scenery.
Locally anyway there is a surge in trikes on the bike trails. When I ride my trike, on most every ride I get stopped and asked questions about riding a trike. You dont have to be a rocket scientist to see that a bent may be a very confortable way to bike.
