There sure are a lot of recumbent riders who hang out in the A&S forum. Out of curiosity, do you think you get more abuse than other cyclists because of your recumbent? Or that you are harder for motorists to see or any of the other things like that people often ask?
I can adjust the seat to be more forward, I have it reclined back as far as it will go, found this is more comfortable for me. The handle bars are not all that high, they are just below my shoulders, with just enough clearance to prevent my knees from hitting them.
If you mean abuse from my fellow club members or other cyclists, no. I have yet to be made fun of, etc by any other cyclist. I explain to people being hard to see on a recumbent by motorists is a myth, plain & simple.
