I have known several large GRR and Tour Easy (TE) [2] riders, and none of
them have had a problem with breaking rear axles. A couple of specialist
recumbent dealers direct their heaviest customers towards the Easy Racers
bikes, as they are one of the most suitable long-wheel base designs for
these riders.

Large riders only look right on long wheelbase recumbents. They look like
clowns on short wheelbase recumbents. Mr. Sherman needs to post a picture of
himself on some website (like the fabled Harry Brogan of ARBR) and then I
will advise him what kind of recumbent he should be on. I won't even charge
him anything for my counsel - just part of My Saintliness!

If that is indeed a picture of you, then you can ride any kind of recumbent
you want. I can too, but I must admit I look best on a long wheelbase
because of my 6 foot height.
