Both designs have their own advantages and drawbacks. A recumbent with an upright seat and a traditional racer in a tuck have about the same air drag. A 'bent is favored for its longer wheelbase and seat comfort but weighs more. Give me a Huffy 3 spd for speed play in traffic. See Bicycleman.com for lots of info on all types of bikes.
