Recumbent rider in Perth

[ufkacbln]

I did exactly that (the ice cream, not the deckchair material!) a week ago after riding the trike around Loch Katrine - I stopped at Aberfoyle for a 99 then sat down (on the trike of course) and watched all the tourists coming and going

I do this frequently on either the Gekko or the Catrike Expedition

Whilst not a recumbent pilot myself, I shall be keeping an eye out for you two from now on, as you shouldn't be too hard to spot! I quite like the idea of getting a recumbent trike myself once finances allow

Btw, did either of you see that chap on the hand bike out on the roads round Perth last year? He was well fast on that thing, arms like Popeye though I've not seen him since.

Not hard to spot, especially if we're out together as we have done a couple of times now . The trike is great fun, as @scotbiker will testify, though overall it is a bit slower than a 2 wheeler. If you fancy a shot of my trike then perhaps you can join @scotbiker and myself for a ride sometime.

I did indeed see the bloke on the hand bike a few times - respect to him because it looks like hard work
Apparently my wife saw him again recently, unless it was someone different...

More than welcome to stop us and have a chat, or join us for a scoot about Perth. Just shout 'cyclechat' or something so we know it's you and not some nutter We usually go out on sundays.

I did see someone on a hand trike a while ago as well. Looked a nice machine.

Beware trying the trike cos you WILL want one. I've been reading up on them since the weekend, but can't justify hitting the 'buy' button just yet!
