The perfect recumbent has yet to be made. It may be that there is something
fundamentally wrong with the recumbent design itself which can never be
gotten around. Ideally, a recumbent ought to handle just as well as an
upright, but minus all the pain that goes with an upright. However, this may
be rocket science after all and recumbent designers and builders do not fall
into that category of intelligence, at least not the last time I looked.

Based on his work background in aerospace engineering, Tim Brummer
(Lightning Cycle Dynamics) could qualify as a "rocket scientist".
