recumbent trike

[Bentkat]

I ride a Greenspeed GTS and my buddy who is touring in Mexico rides a Greenspeed GTO. Another popular trike is ICE and is made in the UK. Cattrikes are made in Florida and WizWHeelz trikes are made in Michigan.

I have ridden my trike on all kinds of roads and in various traffic situations. I always feel safe. I toured the OR coast on my trike this last summer. You do have to be defensive at intersections, especially if cars can turn in front of you, but then that is true on any bike.

One of the nice things about riding a trike in traffic is that you do not have to unclip at red traffic lights or stop signs.

Hill climbing can be slow but easy on the engine. You can go as slow as you want and not have to worry about balance.

Look for a used trike to save money.

Thanks for all the feedback. I am currently actively looking for a used trike.
I agree with others that its like riding a go-car. Lots of fun.

Thanks for the links. The story of the woman who is touring on her trike was great. Makes me want to head out today.
