Recumbents

HTFU :P
your sat on your arse in a big comfy chair. not a strip of leather above a sharpe pole.
most recumbent riders say sus is not needed it's just added weight to the lug up hills. the single spar frame allows for flex aswell so acts like suspension

HTFU indeed! I think I might get that as a tattoo.

That makes sense about the frame flex and the seat. I wonder if they suffer from pedal feedback like full sus MTB's? I know fuck all about recumbents as you may be able to tell, I need to read up a lot.
