Wow!! I really like that! So many faired production bikes go for either a forward crouch RR position, or a full upright touring position, It would be great if recumbents got more recognition as viable instead of "geeky". My recumbent experience is with bicycles, and it's been nothing but positive. It's so much more comfortable, and you present so much less area to the wind. The major downside is that you have to stick flags on poles to be seen by people in SUVs. And since my head is at about bumper level on a lot of those vehicles, I do want to be seen.

Thanks for the link. That's really informative.
