wow when did this page or section appear?

Yes! I was wishing that the conversation would pick up. I'm not too crazy about the other, sorta male dominated, recumbent forums. Definite differences in communication styles between men and women... I did a ride report in the Northwest section of this forum describing my STP experience on a lwb recumbent. Maybe I should re-post it here and get a recumbent ride report thread going.

I too have been longing for a trike. The greenspeeds sound like what I am wanting, but they are soooo pricey, and it's a really long drive to Oregon just to try one.

but your location says Pacific Northwest and a long drive to Oregon? Must be north of Bellingham or way out on one of the San Juan Island. Very pretty up there. I looked for a place in Coupville and surrounding area for me to move. Deception Pass is scary but oh so gorgeous.

Coventry cycle is in Portland. Try a trike there or maybe you can find someone near your area who has a trike. Try OHPV association and there might be someone in your area with a trike to try, OHPV members are so much more laid back. Just pop in and ask few questionns. I know several members and all of the men are so nice and so polite!!

I see you've listed Bachetta. A two wheel recumbent. Lot of people love it!! I had to look up what Bellandare looked like. Looks a lot like Bella.

It's a three+ hour drive to Portland, but I thought Coventry was even farther south. I'll check out OHPV. I do love my Bachetta, but being the hill slug that I am, it's not as stable on climbs as I would like. I think the Bellandare does look a lot like the Bella. Not sure there are many differences.
