Anyone ride a Recumbent?

Anyone on here have a recumbent bike? I think they are the least popular form of cycling.....

I would like to see some pics of some pimped out recumbents!

Yep, I'm bent! I ride a Bacchetta Corsa and participate in brevets and ultra cycling events. I enjoy, in a sadistic sort of way watching DF riders grab their crotch when getting off their bikes knowing that I'm tired and my muscles are sore, but I don't have neck, hand, back or crotch issues to deal with.

Yea, I am also bent. I rde a Bacchetta Gyro about 250 miles a week. I also have a Cannondale Killer V mtb that I ride from time to time, but the bent is the distance machine bar none. I can ride 100 mi on the bent and be no worse for wear, and I am a very old guy. I had a Cannondale r2000 that I just sold. I do not miss it.

Not as much anymore. We are growing at a record pace. More people are discovering the benefits of recumbents bikes (or trikes in my case).

Try a recumbent TRIKE then! No balance issues there.
And it's like driveing a go-kart around while sitting in a beach chair.
No Pain!

Bent

After 4 months flat out with an upper back injury and so desperate for exercise that I bought a recumbent exercise bike I am now converted and am searching for a recumbent road bike ASAP.
By the way bent has a totally different meaning where I come from.

Cruzbikes

Anyone out there have any opinions re cruzbike recumbents. I know nothing and there is possibly a V2 for my price.
