BTW over the years we have bought my wife at least 3 DF bikes. She only rode them a little before they got hung up in the garage, and then sold on a garage sale. BUT-------------with the trike she has continued to ride it and loves it!!!!
Yeah. Been there, done that. I bought her a nice Bianchi (much nicer than the bike I owned at the time) and I think she rode it twice, less than 2-3 miles each time. It will be a while yet, given that she wants to keep losing weight for a bit before she adds something else to her routine. It would mostly be pleasure riding, which is fine, we're close to the inter-urban trail here, and I could get something that will fit in the back of my RAV.
I don't know, though, we're already thinking we are getting some kayaks for the lakes and the Sound this summer, so a trike might be a bit much to hope for this year.
