What Ed is missing is that the proper recumbent climbing technique
involves a higher cadence than the upright climbing technique.

What you're missing is that you can stand on an upright and crawl over
rough ground at 2 mph. You cannot balance a recumbent at that speed nor
could you pedal up the very steep hills that require standing like that.

Who is advocating a recumbent for technical off-road anyhow???

How many paved roads are steep enough to slow an average rider down to
2-mph? Almost none.

I can snooze on my recumbent and not fall over:
