Upright riders continue to go at it with Ryda, even after the thread has been moved to recumbents. In effect, he started a war there and then brought it here.

Sorry I posted that to the wrong thread. It should have gone in the "time to diversify" thread. That thread was originally posted to the General forum and got moved here; but Ryda and various upright guys keep trading swipes - here now, not there.

Blather what you want, but at least cycling on a bent or a trike is not a pain in the ass. On the other hand the "real cyclist" that rail against bents often are.

I didnt know cycling was a religion, so I guess your argument goes for not. Cycling is a fun sport, and the less pain incurred the better.

No surprise you overlooked most of the definition beyond the first entry.
