After riding a recumbent home in a torrential downpour, removing the seat
cushion and bringing it into the house to dry out is a Good Thing.

Bah!

You mean you travel on a seat that collects water with no runoff?
Even a cushion that soaks it up???

Probably most of them don't commute to work for the night shift at BP
though :-)

Very common. That is the way it usually is with hard-shell seats,

Cushion is coarse foam with a nylon cover; the back is impervious AFAICT.
It's not a promble as long as you remember not to leave it it a cold damp
shed when it's very wet.

Before riding a recumbent in a torrential downpour, fitting a cheap foam
seat cushion similar to the standard HPVelo cushions is a Good Thing.

Riding in a torrential downpour with an Airflow seat cushion is, of
course, a bad thing.

OK. I prombled around neighbouring villages today, calling on several
local shops/post offices to put up a poster.

In fact, I got back on the bike for the first time since a (non-cycling)
accident that left me a couple of weeks on crutches. So I was taking
it very gently, and staying within a couple of miles of home. But I
started out in uphill direction, just to confirm I could do it.

Just one big twinge. I was on the uphill when I met the minibus coming
the other way. We both headed for an obvious passing point on the road,
and it was there first. So I speeded up to avoid delaying it - bad idea
with a knee that's still healing.

So is there a word to describe this phenomenon - akin to dyslexia - maybe typelexia?

Any suggestions?

I gave mine to Dr Sidwell when he was looking for something more comfy for
his Toxy ZR.

You are right. I must get him and his good lady Dr Fortnum to do so
immediately. Come to that, I should get Dr Larrington and her husband Dr
Davis to do likewise. /And/ my chum Dokta Tokblox...

And one of these Doctors / Doktas is even an an MD :-)
