I have often wondered why we don't see a more active market for these bikes. Some are very beautiful and it seems to me to make a lot more sense for anyone with a mild physical impairment to ride one of these than to ride a recumbent, which are as a rule stone ugly to my eye. Seems they'd be easier to fit than most bikes, too, but I may be wrong there and I don't have any real experience with either. Do they ride well?
