Subject: Trikes:'Bents increasing?

I disagree, if I may.. On the recent American Lung Association of Washington
three day bike ride I was on- about 350 cyclists - two were recumbent - two
were recumbent trikes - several upright tandems and the rest all uprights.
I was amazed every time I watched the riders on the two recumbents. They
looked strained with the effort to hold their heads up... or so it appeared to
me... I don't know why so many of the recumbent trike and recumbent
manufacturer don't provide head rests to alleviate the apparent strain on the
recumbent riders neck...... Annie

Market penetration is very slow, but I predict that Australia will
follow the US and Europe and two wheeled 'bents will gradually overtake
the predominant trike sales - and I mean overtake :)
