Fair enough, at 190-200 lbs. (depending on the time of the year ) I don't consider myself a light weight. IMHO proper attire for road cycling is critical. There is no way in the world I could ride my road bike doing the distances that I do wearing jeans and a t-shirt, its uncomfortable and impratical. Like you mentioned perhaps it is not the bike or how your sit on it, but the clothes you wear. Maybe some loose breathable shorts might help as opposed to the denim? Nothing wrong with shorts and a t-shirt for that distance. I don't know if the Underwear Nazi checks the Recumbent board, however if he did I'm sure he'd still tell everyone to go Commando while riding their 'bents!

I found out very quickly that there seems to be a pratical purpose for lycra padded shorts other then to fit tightly around your bum and show off your package!

That aside, I been checking out the Catrike Speed and am really considering buying one over the winter. The thing looks like a blast to ride and probably goes like snot once up to speed. It's this forum which pointed them out to me. I'm glad for the fact that BF exists because the info I've gained over the last couple of years has been great.

Peace.
