But that position is really, really good for what that bike is intended to do, I would guess.

I'm trying to resist what I want to say about recumbent tricycles (and I happily owned and rode one for a while), since this, as is usual for bike material discussions, has turned into an exhibition of close-mindedness, and veiled and personal opinions being projected on others. When I see a (fairly typical) recumbent trike rider, or even when I was riding my own, I felt like or think of a person lounging on the couch watching tv with a beer perched on the big belly. But they're kind of fun to ride in an inefficient way, but talk about getting very little in performance or technology for the exorbitant prices!
