I remember after I wrote this that you had issues with your rack/car situation and getting one into your apartment (second floor now?) -- this did not occur to me until after I wrote my post. I totally understand. Just something to keep in mind down the road, so to speak! We have had a recumbent tandem and single recumbents as well in the past, and they are a LOT of fun, so long as you don't expect to be fast, since they tend to be heavier than uprights and slower uphill -- kind of like tandems. If you just sit back (literally) and enjoy the ride, you see a lot more, and they are very comfy!
