I was riding the local bike trail with my lady friend over the weekend and we kept seeing (and getting passed by) a lot of recumbents. My lady friend brought up a good question, "When will they allow recumbents in the Tour de France?" This got me thinking and I would like to pose a question to all who are interested. Imagine that you are a member of the governing board of the TDF and a discussion is coming up about possibly including recumbents in the race. Would you be for it or against it, and why?
