Recumbent
My wife started riding my dad's recumbent after giving birth to our son and told me "I don't know if I'm coming back to our tandem". Well five recumbents later we love them. I have everything from a understeer to a trike and a Bachetta for my fast riding fix.
I was a died in the wool racer and swore I would never be caught dead on a recumbent.....oh, well, the comfort wins me over and I don't give up anything on speed but the ability to climb as well.
Still have all the old bikes collecting dust, but the "bents" now get most of the "saddle" time.
