If you've not been to the recumbent newsgroup, alt.rec.bicycles.recumbent that Eugene Calame helped us create for the national and international recumbent community, probably eight years ago now, indeed you are missing out! It is virile and alive and now THX to the people at Google, who recently gave the interface a facelift, it is extremely easy to navigate and looks brilliant. See it at:
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/alt.rec.bicycles.recumbent
Use it to get your questions about recumbents answered. Read it for pleasure. Learn about new products, etc, etc.
Too exciting!!
