Hey Chip, what mods would you make to a Pocket for touring?
Would it be cost-effective enough to justify, or would you just go up to a Road or something else? |

Did I read your post correctly that you killed an EZ-3 USX in 4 months? I am currently comparing the USX and the EZ-3 SX. Can I bother you for your opinion?

What about a Catrike pulling a Burley Nomad? Any knowledge of if this would work on the Pocket or Road or Speed models? |

Just wanted to post up that after much discussion, last week we purchased a EZ-3 USX for my wife. We were on vacation in Florida and went to Atlantic Bicycles. They had a very large selection of trikes and bents, and allowed my wife to try them all. We were about to leave when my wife saw the EZ-3 USX. After trying it out, I couldn't get her off of it! Needless to say, we said we'd take it. They shipped it up to my LBS, who is going to put it together. She is enthusiastic, and can't wait to start riding again. It's jsut funny that we had to go to Florida, to buy a trike for NYC.
Thanks again for all the input. Mark |

My wife and I are both 40 years old and making a return to any sort of bike/trike after 10+ years away. I've ordered a pair of AB Tadpoles and should be getting them in about a week.
I look forward to getting back on wheels. :) |
I'm 86, have been riding a BikeE but just purchased a Catrike Pocket. I do six miles every morning and recently a 20 mile group ride on my Dahon folder. That's about it, no longer run the 100 mile days that I used to in my youth. (early 60's)

A little info on the hitch though is that you will have to purchase the Burley Alternative Hitch. The hitch that comes with the trailer will not fit any Trike that I'm aware of because the chainstay angles are wrong for one, and the chainstay tubes are too large on any of the Catrikes for the standard hitch. |
49 years old, riding 2006 HP Velotechnik Scorpion with 14speed Rohloff Speedhub and 60tooth chainring. Planned on getting a custom paint job this winter and even met with the painter to discussed a "scorpion theme". I have had so many compliments on the base color (RAL2000) that I decided to hold off on the paint job for the time being.

I'm 60 years old, have a bad back, and love my new Lightfoot Greenway trike. :)

I'm also 60 years old. My Ice L trike is the best cycle I've ever had. I just got fed up with saddle soreness and arm and neck pain. Trikes are wonderful.

53. Recently bought a 05 Catrike Road. If the test rides are any indication of the things to come, my mileage will about double in the coming year.

Richard 86? wow! thats awesome. I sure hope I'm still riding my bike if I make it that far. |
45. Greenspeed tandem (GTT2S). The wife doesn't ride, but the four kids LOVE it! I Captain, 12 yr old boy Stoker, 5 yr old boy on the luggage rack and the 3 yr old twin girls occupy the Burley trailer. We are our own parade! We don't go far, but we have FUN!! And fast too, sometimes. Stoker and I have hit 48 mph on a steep descent. WEeee! The GTT is VERY stable at high speeds because of its lenghth.
OK... I also have a little red GTX for when I'm flying solo. Want one cheap?....all together now!...............................eBay!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
I got a Burley trailer at a garage sale so I don't kow what model it is. The hitch that it came with(a big ol ugly plastic framastatz) fits perfectly on both my Greensppeeds. (GTT & GTX, both early milenium models.)The rear triangle is consistent in degrees with standard DF cycles, only shorter.
