bikes can be slowed down by adding trail. The problem is picking the right
amount. Some riders object to the other forces that occur with increased

Many recumbent builders seem to prefer criterium quick handling. IM not so

Bill, you have just stated above what I have often thought myself. Some
recumbents are so quick handling that you practically have to have circus
performer skills to ride them. Why the hell can't the designers of
recumbents get the trail right? Surely there must be a formula which is
optimum for trail for everybody regardless of the particular configuration
of the recumbent. A twitchy bike will drive a normal person crazy!
