Bikes are outselling cars
May 28th, 2009, 11:34am
 
Bikes outsold cars in the US for the first quarter of 2009. 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.
