The many reasons recumbent cycles are preferred over traditional uprights include the following:
* Spreading your body weight over a much larger area than on a conventional bike explains "recumbent comfort".
* A much more comfortable seat means less back, neck, shoulder, and posterior pain compared to a conventional bike.
* No wrist pain from bearing your weight.
* Smaller frontal area means better aerodynamics which have allowed recumbents to set every bicycle speed record.
* The heads up position lets you enjoy the scenery instead of the grit on the road.
* In the event of an accident, there is a shorter distance to fall and the rider will fall feet first instead of head first.
* The high seat back allows you to leverage more pedal power by pushing with your back against the seat. Human power is maximized under these conditions.
* The feet up position is more physiologically efficient because the body can circulate blood more effectively, providing more oxygen to the muscles.
* They are virtually impossible to flip forward.
WHY RIDE TRIKES? We prefer trikes because they have all of the recumbent advantages mentioned above plus the following three-wheeled benefits:
* Stability - loose gravel, sand, ice, tire blowouts, etc. will not send a trike crashing to the ground.
* Ride during the winter - hitting a patch of ice is fun on a trike.
* Do you have trouble balancing? No problem with a trike.
* No need to drop a foot off the pedal in tight turns to protect against wipeouts
* Leaning into the turns makes cornering on a trike fun. They handle like a sports car or go-cart - you can even brake-steer on a TerraTrike.
* Pull up to a stop and never put your foot down on the road
* No wasted energy balancing the trike on those slow steep climbs - this is the reason that trikes are better climbers than two-wheeled recumbents.
* More respect from motorists, they slow down and give you a wider berth when passing - primarily out of sheer curiosity.
* Easier to track a straight line on the side of a road - no need for wobble room during a steep climb in traffic.
* No need for a kickstand or leaning post.
* Less road friction/tire scrub from a rider's side-to-side balance shift (wobble).
* Instant celebrity status - you may be the first person in your neighborhood with a trike - people will know who you are.
* Great platform for attaching fairings and accessories.
