Andy Wilkinson's UK End-toEnd record is a good case for recumebnts. When
he set the record on a recumbent he beat the existing record held by...
himself, on an upright!

in other words, he had, if anything, considerably more upright experience
yet still posted a better time on the 'bent.


Dare I mention that it was faired? Was the upright?

A faired upright is a close relative of the box kite.

Way too much side area to ride in anything but still conditions.
