Why do you ride one?

In a word, comfort. The most common complaint from cyclists is getting a sore rear end. Recumbent seats are far easier to endure on long rides and the riding position puts no strain on the upper body or hands. Gone are the aches and pains in wrist, shoulders, neck and numb fingers. And many people find they enjoy a better view from the heads-up position rather than bent over staring at the road.
