Hi all
I'm still on the cusp of taking the plunge into recumbent trikes (see earlier message on shed storage request for help) and wondered if there are any trike owners in the Oxford area who might be willing to share thoughts / advice on how they've found them in this neck of the wood.
Ideally, I'd love any opportunity to see, or maybe even try out your magnificent steed (but I definitely won't push for that - its only if its something you'd be happy with! I know how precious these beasts are, and even just bouncing a PM / email or two would be great to see how you find it in this area with road surfaces and traffic)
I had a great time with Kevin at D-Tek a few weeks back and tried a variety of trikes and the ICE Sprint 26 rigid felt good to me, but they were all very short 'up and down the road' rides to allow time to sample a variety, and not ideal shows/pedals/trousers etc. It would be fantastic just to feel the trike sensation over say half an hour with some clip pedals to just confirm to me this is what I want.
I've definitely seen a few trikes and a variety of recumbents in the area, so really hoping someone near me can make contact and share whatever they are happy to share with me.
All the best
