On a regular bike you can stand and put your entire weight on a pedal. Not much harder than walking up a stairway.

On a recumbent, you're pushing sideways, and your back is going into your seat even as your feet push forwards. The weight of your body doesn't help, and you're not using your muscles as effectively.

@ValueSubtracted

Is Chekov the only one that gets featured twice?

Does the actor get twice the royalties?

What do people actually do with these figurines?

Thanks to Star Trek, the word "Nacelle" is finally entering the common lexicon.

@concrete_baby

Could there be a reboot that decides to go back to the optimistic world view of the original?

It's not just Trek. Who decided that all SciFi has to be dystopian, brooding, militaristic, or horror?

It's ironic that if you want Trek with the vibe of the original you have to watch "The Orville".
