I've never seen a recumbent without its prerequisite geek attached.

There are a couple of paraplegic cyclists in my neighborhood that have
hand pedaled (cranked?) recumbents that might argue with you.

Hmmm, trollshit. Still, I'll play along.

ITYM "pedal". Those lazy-ass bikes hold most of the world human
powered speed records.

The first recumbents appeared in the 1930s and were promptly banned
from racing because they were so much faster. The current vogue for
recumbents dates back to the 1980s and bikes like the Avatar 2000.
These days recumbents are sufficiently mainstream that even Giant are
building them (although many of us consider these to be semi-recumbent
really).

I want one of those. That'd be perfect for tooling around this cool little
Canadian town with all my Dutch neighbours. How much is that thing?
