Recumbents are very comfy for long trips, but they can have their downsides, too. The long exposed changes require more maintenance, and can increase the chance of getting grease on your pant leg. Also, the big comfy seats aren't ideal for leaving a bike chained up outside all day when it could rain. They can be like a big sponge, and take days to dry out. Congratulations, Becky!
