Thanks BentKent! It isn't an article, it's a book. 'The First Big Ride, A Woman's Journey' by Eloise Hanner. A very enjoyable book, actually, but since I'm seriously planning on my 50th birthday gift to myself being a trike, and her comments took me aback. It was just the experiences of the recumbents on that tour from her viewpoint, but she did note that whenever she came up on a recumbent or they came around her, she gave them plenty of space...but this was also a trip in 1998, and there have probably been alot of improvements by now!

The more I end up with sore neck, sore bottem and arms, the more I look longingly at trikes, in particular. I want to tour, and heck, it looks more fun than a go-cart!
There was a recumbent on my last club ride. Passed him in the first few miles, but soon enough, on those long, flat stretches we have here in Yolo, he'd be zooming by me.
