I get the idea that there are far fewer bent and trike riders in Europe. Why is this?? It it a lack of bike trails, or maybe roads there tend to be more narrow. In a way I really dont understand this, because there are several good mfg of bents and trikes in Europe. Example---------probably the zenith of trikes is the Azub Ti-Fly.

If you have a look at the German Velomobile forum (using Google translate} you'll get some idea of how things are in Germany and some surrounding nations. More dealers, certainly. Despite the name the forum caters for bikes, trikes and their electrified equivalents too. There is certainly more recumbent activity in Germany and the Netherlands than there is in the UK, for example. I suspect that recumbents are more popular in certain areas than others, depending on local terrain, nearby dealers or manufacturers and so on. Perhaps some countries never see a recumbent, while others with a manufacturing base are more likely to. The forum makes for an interesting read. Some recumbent names I'd never heard of.

Where do you get the idea from?
