******************************************

I have been browsing through this newsgroup for a while now and haven't
seen anything on these bikes.  The arguments for the design *seem*
logical, ie.: Lower center of gravity increases stability, less wind
resistance, more effective use of leg leverage, more comfortable seat
possible, and better interaction with auto drivers because of mutual
vision contact.

Since reading about recumbents about 4 years ago, I've always thought
that if I were to buy another bike it would be one of them.  Does anyone
have any comments about them, pro or con?  Post to the net or E-mail, as
you see fit.
