i bought my first [and hopefully only ;-] recumbent this spring. it's interesting... hard to ride up some of the steeper hills, since you can't just stand up!!

Sounds like you need to change your gearing ratios so you can spin up those 0hills and save your knees. Which recument do you have?
  BTW, how many folks on this list also own recumbents (bents) as opposed to standard bikes (wedgies)?
  How many who own recumbents also own folding kayaks?
  Regards,
---Leander (who will try out a new recumbent on Saturday, owns a folder, and is curious as to how many of us are seriously comfort-driven in our perennial toy-quest).   ;-}
