Recumbents have a lot to recommend them but I don't like the lack of visibility in traffic, UK drivers aren't that considerate of cyclists generally so I at least like to be visible, that said they do really really move compared to a road bike since the aerodynamic shape helps hugely.
- Grishnakh 10y agoI'm in the US, and roads here are really bad for riding bikes on, unless you're in a very small town or something. (Even that isn't a great place; I live in a small town currently and the street in front of my house has a 25mph speed limit, but people are constantly speeding on it, and frequently hitting cats that cross the road near my house.) That's why I simply don't ride on roads with cars if I can help it; I mostly stick to rail-trails or towpaths. I can ride 40 miles on a rail-trail and barely see any cars at all, and frequently not even any humans.
