Everybody knows that bents can't do hills. Why, just watch all the poor recumbent riders walking up every hill on all those invitational rides! And SWBs - they're just plain squirrely. On top of that, a gray beard and a pot belly are required. Yep, ya gotta be either crazy or disabled to ride a bent.
On the plus side, you can ride in sandals, baggy shorts, and a hemp shirt.
