A little about myself - I'm a 30 year old man who was born with Spina Bifida, I was told as a young child I would never be able to ride a two wheel bicycle but being the kind of person I am I had to prove them wrong, and so I did.
On turning 17 I fell out of cycling as most do in place of a car; now as a 30 year old man I want to get back into cycling for health and fitness reasons, with one slight problem - I have (probably due to a bigger stomach!) totally lost the ability to ride a 'regular' bike.
On doing a little research which is how I came across this site, I stumbled upon the recumbent trikes and they are precisely what I need, if I had the money I would buy one right now but they all seem so expensive and way way out of my price range.
Anyway, due to bikeability wales I will at least hopefully get to try one within the next few days; then maybe, one day I will get to own my own (not holding my breath though). I have read through a few of the threads on recumbent's on here they were a great read and made me want one even more, so I thought I'd register and say hi.
