Recumbent What IS that thing?! Recumbents may be odd looking, but they have many advantages over a "wedgie" bicycle. Discuss the in's and out's recumbent lifestyle in the recumbent forum.

So, I chased down a guy on a CatTrike today...

So, I chased down a guy on a CatTrike today...

I was out running errands on my foldy and behold, shiver me timbers ,
The great Green Cat Ive been chasing did appear !!!!!
I turned around and gave chase finally reeling him in and he was
more than gracious and happy to talk about his ride, a CatTrike
Pocket......I was amazed at how hi-tech it was in real life, from
the disk brakes to the anodized tierod ends, quality abounds
I am sooooo stoked to get one of these now !!!



If you are the Juno CatTriker, you can contact me here on BF.
Lets Ride !

You don't ever want to run into someone on a Trice Q or T, then. Drum brakes are cool, and every accessory is custom made for them.

I had a trike rider chase me down back in the spring. He'd been hearing about me from friends.... seems there are only 3 bent riders here in town.

I have a Catrike Trail, rigged for touring, here in Okeechobee, FL. I'm one of the only recumbents in this little town, and the ONLY Trike, so I get lots of comments and questions, and last Saturday, a fellow taking photos of the trike while I was in getting a sandwich and a soda. Catrikes are way cool...

How did you decide which model to choose? It's not like many LBSs have a fleet of the various ones to try out and compare. My LBS has the Catrike brochure from which one can make some good guesses based on ones size and expected load, etc. But there's nothing like trying before buying.

here in Okeechobee, FL. I'm one of the only recumbents in this little town, and the ONLY Trike
I used to do service calls in okeechobee, for a little town traffic is bad around the main light (441 and 70 ) I hated going out there to do a service call, I had to budget 3 hours for 1 call. I hit a buzzard on 68 on day.
