I'm interested in recumbents due to my neck injury, and a Greenspeed trike in particular, as I have not been able to do any exercise whatsoever for the past year due to nasty C5-C6 herniation, so I know that I will be very weak starting up again.

Unfortunately, there are no recumbent dealers within about 5 hours of here, and I won't actually be looking at them until after I have healed from my future surgery. Any info that anyone can provide on the web would be very helpful!

I did not have significant neck pain from this (probably cycling-caused) herniation which delayed my diagnosis for at least 4 years, even though it is causing the rest of my body to go haywire! My main symptoms have been dizziness, numbness of feet, legs, hand, and arms, CHEST pain, and feeling very ill like a combination of flu and altitude sickness, and electrical shock feelings throughout. It has gotten to the point where I cannot even walk up one flight of stairs without eliciting severe symptoms. I am still working, but getting through the working day is about as hard as riding a double century or hiking to the top of Mount Whitney.

I should make a complete recovery since I still have an ocassional good day now and then, and I have been doing better for the past month or so since I found out that it is my neck and have been trying not to move my neck much in any direction.
