You can really ride a recumbent on trails? Seems to me most of them look slow-steering and you can't stand on the pedals going over bigger bumps. Also maybe hard to get your foot down if you tip over?
But I don't know anything for sure and realize that there are a number of different styles of recumbent. A friend of mine let me ride on his e-bike conversion of a "Day Six" bike that has a somewhat "kicked out" front wheel. I just rode it around a parking lot and it felt unstable as all get out, like riding a chopper when I'm used to a cafe racer!
