Just yesterday I stopped by the bike shop to look at the new TerraTrike trike. There was an older trike rider there, but he was looking at LWB bents to buy. IMO the fact that 2 wheel bents are slightly faster means there will always be a market for them. Wittness the fact that RANS has just come out with a new model.
