Makbike is one of our experts on recumbents.

Trek Pilots have a more upright geometry and may interest you. I was predisposed to buy one (since SilverSon has one that I like), but I went to the LBS with an open mind and let them advise me...I am very pleased with their recommendation.

But, I'd encourage you to call ahead and schedule a time so you'll know they won't be distracted when contemplating your needs
