Yep, I've been through a recumbent phase. As you say, they do have their advantages, in particular comfort, and perhaps a bit of extra speed down hill. My average speeds were always about the same as with a normal bike, but I just never felt like I was going as well. And then, there's the vulnerability to factor in.....
