Dutch, except I'd add a banana seat with a tall sissy bar and ape-hanger handle bars.

I would choose A.
Also, is anyone else getting really annoyed with the BikeForums errors for the past couple days? Server errors?

I picked the recumbent. I would have picked the MTB, but DS frames with that high of a pivot point suck the royal ballsack.
Of course, I'm kind of biased because I kind of want a recumbent in real life.

I saw a kid with that MTB on campus the other day. I almost took a cell pic of it to show you guys I was so appalled at it.
I choose that one.

I'd do the recumbant if only I can gain 50 pounds, then talk about how I rode the distance to the moon at a 15 miles per hour.

My facial hair grows in really ****ty, so I think I am ruled out of being allowed on a recumbent.
That dutch bike looks like it could be fun.

Weird it may be, but the recumbent will achieve the highest final speed - higher than most roadies on their road bikes.
Yeah, it's weird - weird fast.
