We aren't talking about speed records here, just your average recumbant rider who AROUND HERE is old
and overweight. On another note that list contains MOSTLY riders who were around their prime as
upright road racers.

Well...since the OP was an obvious troll, I figured a troll reply was in
order.

Damn you made me homesick. The river drive loop along the Schuykill
river is my favorite all time bike ride.

Even though the OP was clearly a troll, I'm always amazed when I pass
a 'bent rider who doesn't have a beard. ;-)

I find it odd that you have this eroneous perception. I can only surmise
that you own and ride one and when you look in your mirror through your rose
colored Brikos, you see a super-fit champion with 1% body fat! LOL

No harm, carry on.

You forgot to cross post this silly, early season troll to
alt.rec.bicycles.recumbent.

For shame.
