Back long ago and far away when I was doing major long-distance
cycling, I knew several people who rode recumbents. I was never
tempted. One issue for me is the visibility, both the more limited
sight-line for the rider and the lower profile (literally and
figuratively) when on the road. In normal road bikes I found I
preferred shorter wheel base for the responsive handling (sports car
vs. comfy full-size sedan) and I think the recumbent would be a large
truck on this spectrum.

What do you guys think about recumbents?
I love mine: bacchetta giro
I've never ridden one so I can't comment.
I think for the type of city riding I do (especially for messengering)
they wouldn't be too practical.
I'd love to try one some day.
cheers,
