Speak for yourself (of course I know you are, but I saw no IMO). Both of your statements are false in my experience. And I've ridden both upright and recumbent bikes. Perfect comfort on the upright, ride the next day in the spring no problem. The trike was very fun, but not as much fun as an upright. It's really a shame you haven't been able to work it out and have had to limit yourself to only one kind of ride.
