More and more long distance tourers are going to recumbents, because the upright seating position allows them to see the scenery. And many are using trikes because they sit when stopped, no leaning against something, or having a kick stand sink in and have the bike fall over.
And then there is the comfort factor which is number one. You can put in long days without pain.
