Her birthday is in early March and I am thinking this might be a good present.

Thanks for any info you can give me!

There are a number of recumbent trikes that are comfortable. Being seen (a common myth) is NOT a problem. Here are some manufacturers:

1. ICE Trice (high end)
2. Catrike (great american company)
3. Greenspeed (Australia)
4. Kettweisel
5. Sun

We absolutely love our tandem trike, and have put many happy miles on it!
