(Apologies to the forum for a several year absence; reality had a nasty habit of getting in the way....)
I am coming into a small windfall in the near future, and barring unfortunate events happening to the house, it is currently earmarked to purchase something Fun. My thoughts have turned towards a recumbent; I am already in possession of a road bike and a more sensible Jack-of-all-trades, but have hankered after a recumbent for a while.
That said, I am at a loss as to where to start. My knowledge of recumbents is limited to thinking they look like fun. I know virtually nothing else - manufacturers, how they ride, how to set one up, what to look for etc. I would be very grateful for links and starting points - I had a look for sticky posts etc but couldn't find anything immediately obvious.
