Bikes: Catrike 559 I own some others but they don't get ridden very much.

I contemplated a Greenspeed before we ordered our Rans Screamer. 3 wheel tracks to manage, transporting it by car, the possibility of bottoming out, low riding position vs. auto traffic, and gearing issues with a 20" drive wheel were all considerations. The killer, however, was thinking about getting on and off with the low seating position. Not a suitable design for the Grouches.

Once the Screamer decision was made I wanted to order a single bike that had a similar riding position so I wouldn't have to relearn how to ride two bikes.
