The original ones didnt have 16 in wheels they have 17in Moulton. Now able to get Stelvios in this size, much faster tyre. And yes the atom brakes are pretty good, hardly any wear on the brake shoes on mine despite being over 20years old.

She came home today after a long day of meetings and such, noticed the flowers, noticed the new mirror in the bathroom, noticed that I hadn't had a shave, managed to sniff out the bottle of tequila. Did She mention the Wincheetah SL parked in the dining room of our small terraced house? Did she fukc. Eventually I pointed it out to her, had the whole 'It looks stupid-no it doesn't/ 'surely it's dangerous- no it's not dangerous' conversation and then, to my surprise She sat in it and smiled and said 'ooh it's really comfortable isn't it!' I reckon I'll get Her out in it at the weekend, her legs are just about long enough.

<shock>

You mean to say you took up with a woman who'd never sat in a recumbent trike? Jeez, that's a bit of a risk innit?

Seems you've got away with it though...

MsM has joined the Dark Side at last!

After years of half-hearted trying and failing on two wheels and three, she tried a Catrike Pocket trike on Saturday afternoon (thank you Ian, Mr Catrike UK) and was instantly smitten, because IT FITS.

It's the only sparkly British Racing Green Catrike Pocket in the UK

I like it too (when I can get a go), but we can't really have two parked in the kitchen...

I wouldn't mind trying a recumbent, but I can't help thinking I'd feel like an idiot riding one...

Also I'd be butt-clinching whenever I held up traffic, which I'm guessing would be very often if you use it on the roads.

Why would you be butt clenching at the thought of holding up other traffic? What's different about holding up cars on a normal upright bike?

I was referring to trikes really, obviously they are wider than an upright bike.

Not a lot when you take the handlebars of a MTB into consideration, I don't hold traffic up anymore on the trike than I would on a wedgie.

It's wicked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Specially at night.

Mwahaha!

Riding down the cycle track with no lights on it is so so cool
