Recumbents scare me. Looks like no chance of lifting the front or bunny hopping.

You've absolutely no chance catching a slide on a recumbent bike because of the lack of options for weight shifting. You'd also be absolutely stuffed if you tried to jump it or drop off something. Ex short wheel base recumbent owner for reference.

That thing would be even shitter than a normal fat bike.

I recall seeing one of those many years ago, when fatbikes were fadbikes. Question for the OP though - what on earth were you looking for when that popped up in your search?

People have a habit of slowing down to gawp at car accidents on the other side of the road, too.

[EDIT] FML. Some syphillis-addled lunatic has one in their shopping basket, according to the 'bay.

At least it puts you higher off the ground, so you're relying less on an aerial with a flag on it, alerting other road users to your presence! 😆
