Here's Sparky!

Yes, all those trikes are fun to ride. The best part is you can go up a hill as slow as you want to go without ever worrying about tipping over.

I've been so busy that I've been putting off on getting a cat trike pocket. I'm bit jealous at your new, brand spanking new ride. Enjoy your ride. Personally, I think everyone should have one of these.

I know, I am totally undeserving of another new bike! The realization that people selling used trikes typically wanted as much for used as it cost to get new was perfect justification. Yes, the stability on hills was my main motivation for wanting to get a trike. I love the Bellandare, but the hills really freaked me out and it didn't seem to be getting better. Trikes for Everyone!

I LIKE this part of it Perhaps someday I will be in a position to have a trike and get to ride again. Right now even IF I had the $$$, I wouldn't have any way to transport it or even get it up/down the narrow stairs to my apt. Not with my shoulder & neck...but I REALLY LIKE the idea of a bike that won't tip over on the uphill if you get too slow.

In theory, Sparky folds up as small as 32"x24"and could be transported in just about any trunk. He's 36 pounds--so not too much heavier than your average hybrid. That just leaves the price barrier, which is formidable. Trident Trikes (for instance) makes some well respected folding trikes (Spike, Stowaway, Titan)for about what you'd pay for a modestly priced roadie...

Very nice, and looks practical too! Have fun!

Oh yes,I'm considering getting a trailer and going car free (almost)

Sweet, we have a friend who has a great trike. The Bike Hermit just helped him install a great dynamo lighting system. About 3 years ago he rode it pretty much across the country with a tag-along -trike attached for his 10 year old daughter. They had a blast. He jokes about once you go trike you'll never go back to a two wheeled anything

Oh, I have to stay current with two wheel skills if I want to tour with dh on the tandem. I do love our beautiful tandem, but it's being custom made and fitted for me doesn't stop it from causing me a great deal of pain. If I could bring dh "to the dark side" with me, everything would be perfect.
I think sparky has the fittings for a hub dynamo light. Would be pretty cool to have!
