I completely agree with the person about doing test rides first. I had money in hand and was all set to purchase myself a Cattrike Expedition. I walked in and proclaimed my intention and then I was asked if I have ridden one. My answer was no... So we walked outside and strapped me into one and I took off... very enjoyable and I was sold. Then the wonderful people at my local shopped stepped me through all the rest of the trikes, bents and longwheels... I was given a chance to ride them all and before you know it I walked out with a Bacchetta Giro 26... for my needs and desires it was faster and easier to climb with and I was also a little scared of the trike on the road with crazy drivers. So the morale of the story is to ensrue you have ridden everything first before you make a decision.

My mind got changed in 1/2 ... I love my Bent and now that I have it I might consider a trike next year but I'm happy with what I have so far.
