Anyone ride recumbent bikes or skydive?

As for skydiving, I'm retired USAF. I hold true to the saying "why jump out of a perfect good plane?"

If you saw the planes I jumped you'd never use the term "perfectly good"

I never rode a recumbent (that would make a strange unicycle - my preferred ride) but between 1962 and 1976 I logged a little over 2000 jumps. The photo above is a frameshot of me from the documentary "The Endless Fall". I also appeared in "Masters of the Sky". It was a movie short that appeared before feature films in the late 60s (remember those?).

This last shot above was over Palatka, FL in 1965. I was hanging from the strut of a Cessna 172
