Title: Bikes are outselling cars
Post by Bud_Bent on May 28th, 2009, 11:34am

Bikes outsold cars in the US for the first quarter of 2009 (http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/ariel-schwartz/sustainability/bikes-outsold-cars-first-quarter-2009-does-it-matter). Of course, most of them weren't recumbents, but it's a start, I guess...

The big recumbent shops in Florida would indicate that.  I stopped at three and they all indicated that sells were up.  In Florida at least Trikes seem to be the biggest movers.

Not really because the people who complain these days about almost getting killed by SUV's will now complain about the moron on a Trek who can't steer ;)
