I am a roadie and mtb’er. I consider the recumbent bike rider as somewhat less than human. He is a nerd. He suffers from the “hey everybody look at me” syndrome. These are the geeks who show up for century rides acting all cool on their nerdmobiles, but I don’t see them at the end of the ride. Get a friggin’ lazy Boy recliner and give it up… Am I being too harsh? When I see Ned or Lance riding one, I will reconsider… 😕
