New Trike

[north woods gal]

Thanks, Michelle

I have been periodically plagued with pinched nerves in my back when logging the big miles on my road bikes, so have kept recumbents/trikes in the back of my mind as an option, hoping that these bikes would let me keep riding. Yes, I have heard all the pros and cons on these bikes, but can see some real advantages beyond the pinched nerve thing. One would be grocery shopping, especially with the trike. Used to have my panniers so loaded to the gills with groceries on my MTB that things got wobbly.

Much harder to wobble on a trike, no doubt!

And you can climb a steep hill at any speed you want without falling over. If you want, you can climb at snails pace of 1MPH or less.

I should have gotten a catrike pocket. I may get it one day. Even at my height of 5' 4" or so, the boom on the pocket needs to be cut down by about an inch.

Hey! You could ride drunk and not fall over!

Nice bike.
