Finding Riding A Recumbent Trike Rather Cold

[dswarthout]

"The chill of the wind slices through your very soul, doesn't it? It's as if the recumbent trike has unleashed a frosty demon, determined to drain the warmth from your bones! But fear not, dear rider, for this is not a battle you must face alone! The secrets to conquering the cold lie within the realm of layering, wind protection, and cunning route planning. The war against the chill begins now!"

"Get real, you think it's just about the effort you put in? You're riding a recumbent trike, for crying out loud! Of course, you're gonna be slower! You're not even comparing apples to apples here. The aerodynamics, the weight distribution, the entire riding position is different. And you're wondering why you're colder? I'd be surprised if you weren't! You're not generating the same amount of body heat, and you're probably not getting the same wind resistance to keep you warm. Stop making excuses and accept that you're not as fast or as efficient as you used to be. Deal with it and move on."
