A recumbent isn't "superior" to a traditional frame. It has select improvements, but for the general consumer the ride quality of a traditional frame is much better.
- tromp 7y agoThe general consumer has never experienced a recumbent ride. If they had, they would find the recumbent more comfortable on longer rides.
- u801e 7y agoFor bumpy roads, you can always stand on the pedals on an upright bicycle and use your legs as shock absorbers. You can't really do that on a recumbent. But the general consumer most likely doesn't want to spend too much money on a bicycle and recumbents tend to be a bit more expensive compared to uprights.
