Recumbents

I wish recumbent tricycles/bikes weren't so expensive. I understand why they're expensive (less common, unique frame, built differently, etc) but, man I don't want to drop $2,000+ on a Catrike but I also don't want to spend $900 on a Sunseeker Eco Tad that weighs almost 50 lbs, isn't very foldable/portable and I don't know how comfy it would be (mesh compared to some of those catrikes).

The reason I really want a recumbent bike is because of the aerodynamics, the comfort and not having to worry about my awful balance. They look incredibly cool too, so there's that.
