Plus you have the comfort and the view. I have both a recumbent and a trike. Any more I almost always ride the trike while in town. No unclipping when you stop, and no wobbling around trying to clip in when you ride off. The fact is a trike has to be the most relaxing way to cycle there is.
I find it amazing how many people are still wed to the 1890 DF bike design. It of course is good for single tracking and mountain biking.
