Over the years I have bought my wife 3 different DF bikes. She may have ridden each 15 times and then they hung up in the garage till we sold them. Last fall I bought a trike that we share. It is a TerraTrike Cruiser. She has already ridden it more than the other 3 bikes combined, and really likes it. BTW my wife is 68.
Yes by all mean take here to a LBS and more importantly one that has some trikes.
