>>951523As someone who owned a bent, I have to interject. I had an FWD ultra-lowracer ( 20cm of seat height, very reclined position )
>recumbents cant climbkind of. They are slower, about 10-15% after the initial training break in. Bents are tits in headwinds tho. Moreover - low racers are downright scary on downhills. Those fuckers are so aero, that they accelerate to 70+ km/h in several seconds. My coasting speed on a particular climb I ride on a road bike is about ~50km/h - for more then that I need to pedal. I never checked on a bent, because I got scared at 80km/h.
>cant turnThere are literally hundreads of designs. Some turn well, some turn like an elongated semi-trailer.
>have shit visibilityWrong. They have superb visibility for the rider ( you are looking forward, not at your front tyre ) and I never felt safer then on a bent. Drivers gave me SOOOOOO much space when overtaking me, and usually slowed down. That is what you get for being a freak.
> so bunch riding is useless and dangerous.Does not seem to be a problem like, anywhere where bents are quite popular.
