If recumbents weren't better why would they be banned?


Just because.


UCI bikes at least mean that all the bikes are pretty much the same,
they handle much the same, they crash much the same. Useful when you
have a 180 of cyclists.

Imagine a racing peleton of 180 bents, high and low racers and all the
variations. The dynamics would be "interesting".
Not to mention the expanded neutral support complications.
