I can vouch for this. While I was out riding on N. Padre Island, where we spent January, I came up upon a woman on a recumbent trike. I told her I liked her bike, and she immediately said "Want to try it?"
I didn't, because the last thing I need is another bike now with our nomadic lifestyle (already can't bring all three of my bikes along), but I thanked her just the same. She said she had gotten it due to multiple physical limitations and she absolutely loved it. She was quite slow but was definitely enjoying the ride. I thought it was neat she immediately offered to let me try it it. I am sure it's fun!
