There are still ample opportunities to not conform. Alas, the price of

Recumbent bicycles are not that expensive!

Now Tom, I thought we agreed we weren't going to talk about those in
polite company?

Errrr, never mind, carry on.

Indeed!

Any recommendations for a tadpole trike? I'm getting tired of banging
my hips during icy winter days.

USian made, and reasonably priced: http://www.catrike.com/.

High performance, good handling but still corrosion resistant:
http://www.windcheetah.co.uk/.

Rear suspension is nice, since it is hard to avoid potholes with all
three wheel tracks, and this one is also corrosion resistant:

Ugh! I go to the Catrike website and the first thing I see is a picture of
old Larry Varney linked to his review on BROL. Why hasn't that old Kentucky
coot croaked by now? Anyone who bases a decision on a review of his has got
to be nuts. Larry Varney couldn't think his way out of a paper bag. I see he
still has his Santa Claus beard. What an ugly freak he is!

You bet, just take all your money out of the bank and give it to these
assholes.

Possible, but since I'd only rarely be riding it, still too much cash.
Admittedly I knew that before I even asked the question. I guess it's
time to pick up some Atomic Zombie books.

Hmm, did I mention I want a trike, not to establish an annuity for their
grandchildren?

Which should be nicely balanced by the people laughing at you. I'm fine
with a regular trike, but the enclosed ones turn the dork factor up to
11. Not to mention I cross multiple bridges with *high* winds at times.

Economy of scale, not excess manufacturer profit is the culprit here.

With the cost of sourcing all the special parts on the Windcheetah
"Speedy", I can state with great confidence that no one is getting rich.
Direct your accusations of greed to the financial sector instead.

Oh, I know, and as I mentioned I thought the catrike was pretty
reasonably priced for a recumbent.

Well yes, noone gets into bicycles to get rich. Well, at least noone
sane.
