Yeah, I was just being facetious because I'm absolutely convinced that tri-bikes are not a deterrent to entry, and are not the reason why participation is falling. There are a lot of other issues that are endemic to triathlon as a sport that make it difficult for young adults and especially those with young families to decide to try it, and even more so to stick with it.
I completely agree with you on duathlon. I do them wherever they fit my schedule and have competed at national and world champs in the sport. But there aren't many to choose from nearby and most triathletes avoid them like the plague.
