    It isn't the weight - it is the different geometry with trying to get a 3-wheeled bike up my stairs, and then trying to transport it. A trike won't fit my expensive bike rack, and I've enough of a problem getting my Gunnar into the back. I've not yet decided, but we will see. I want to give the Gunnar another chance this spring, and I DO have a lot of other fitness activities that I can do with relatively little repercussions if I am smart about it.

    I've been doing less biking and more swimming in the last couple of years; similar reasons, I love to bike but it's not worth the pain after longer rides. Now I stick to more short scenic MUP pleasure rides.

    I understand -- was just wondering about a two-wheeled short wheelbase recumbent, not a trike. I realize that won't work. But any 'bent may not fit your bike rack or your budget, so it's a good thing you have other activities you enjoy and can do!
