It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

While this is a good road bike, the real time trial monsters are the faired recumbent bikes. I personally would prefer a faired recumbent over a car. It keeps you dry, you go to work in a reasonable time due to the speed, and you work out.
Recumbents are a great way to extent the distance you can commute with a bike without requiring electric support.
They are however less common, and thus car drivers dont always take them into account. So be careful when crossing roads.
If only I could afford one.
That's another advantage of the faired ones. They draw more attention and in the event that you do crash, they offer some protection as well.
