Why aren't recumbent bicycles more popular? They are a much better engineered design. You reduce the frontal area drastically and are able to make more efficient use of the engine (a seat back to press against allows for higher torque from lightweights such as myself, and are more comfortable to begin with )
Might be more comfortable to you, but I have knee, back and hip problems. That and many of the idiots around here would only think they hit a speed bump.
