A recumbent bike seemed a foreign but enticing choice. The Self-Propelled Lazyboy is a road-burning throne of comfort. It is outfitted with huge Jandd panniers on the back, dynamo headlight, bumble-bee noisemaker, cadence computer, Andre the Giant sticker, and all sorts of doo-dads. My only concern so far is that it is too tail-heavy, but all my pain-free training rides indicate that the trade-offs are wise ones.
