A lot of people should really consider riding a trike.

[oldandslow]

In which case it should be a recumbent trike.

I would say so. The OP doesn't sound like a description of a trike.

Most very young children start with training wheels.
Then old timers need a trike for balance!

I started with a trike

 

[biggs682]

Bugger to get through a door though.

And that's what stops me from having one as I would love one

Can't get one through your garage door because every time you open it dozens of bikes spill out like lentils from a split bag!

Same here,gone back to one again after breaking my Femur into 3 pieces. Originally it was only bought for physiotherapy but it's such a hoot and after I fitted the electric front wheel kit it copes with hills brilliantly.

It is quite modified from standard though.

Proper trikes (barrows) are mostly made to fit through a standard doorway.

I often wanted to ask you, where do you keep your trike/bent I forget which?
Outside, well secured?
Or does it fit through your front door?

I have a garage which costalot £83 a month, I think I have bought it ten times over by now.

I was fishing around in the back room for the trike. My youngest girl is nearly ready for it. She can almost mount the rocking horse on her own.

Only if you lean the wrong way.
Catches many novice trikers out - !

I will seriously consider a trike when I start losing my sense of balance on a bike.

 

[rydabent]

Ever try an 'upwrong'

That is what I rode for 57 years, before I went bent. I know all the advantages and short comings of a DF bike.

In the garage, as probably most people do.

Not at all, I have ridden tens of thousands of miles on my trikes, and have never lifted a wheel.
