No offense taken. They do have compromises, slow speed instability for the one I owned, and truthfully I prefer a mountain bike but conventional bikes are too uncomfortable for me.
If you do get the chance to try one, don’t be timid. Push hard on the pedal and get some speed. It will be much easier to steer.
One of the most annoying things about riding a recumbent for me is the attention they generate. I’ve been pulled over by a cop because he wanted to look at the bike. One day a dipstick stopped in a crosswalk, holding up traffic, to look at the bike.
They look awesome. I have a terrible back, so my hatred was always pure envy. It seems like it’d be such a luxurious way to ride, and I love bike riding, so it might honestly be my ideal. Maybe someday.
