Let's not have a debate. It will prove nothing.

I ride an upright and probably always will.

However, I am interested in the reasons that bent riders ride bents. They sound well reasoned and I'm sure that you have found a ride that suits you. Excellent.

What do we acheive by throwing mud at each other?

If bent riders continue to provide well reasoned discussion on the benefits of riding bents you'll probably win some people over. I know that some of the comments made by bent riders on this forum have changed my perception of bents for the better.

However if we try to argue with a 'we're right, you're wrong' attitude, no matter which side we're on, we will only cause friction.

Lets agree to disagree and get on with welcoming everyone who rides, whatever kind of ride it is.
