It is incredible to see the animosity between the various types of bicycle riders. I have showed up to rides on a recumbent and had acquaintances basically shun me even though they talked to me from when I rode with them on an upright.
I got into recumbents because of my interest in ultra distance events.
Depending on what you want there are some great home-built designs. That can copied.
Did you notice the spare tire that I was carrying in the yellow bike?

That's odd, I like all kinds of bikes.
Another odd thing is the Redneck Recumbent- usually I do lots of research before actually diving into a project but with this one, I'd accidentally come across a pic of a Cruzbike and I thought how simple that would be to build. AFTER the fact is when I thought about proper ergonomics.
I didn't see that spare at first!
