Question:
I am teaching an Environmental Science course and we are studying alternative transportation methods. Would you have any sources on recumbent bicycles that we could consult?

Here are some recent articles in popular magazines, which I found using Iowa State University's on-line Readers' Guide:

"Pedal-Powered Slot Cars for Future Commuters", Popular Mechanics, January 1994, page 13
