Making myself nuts...

OK, I'm about three weeks away from buying my first bent and am making myself nuts.

Ever since I started saving money to make my purchase, I've been focused on a SWB. Specifically, the Bacchetta Giro 20. But now that I'm getting closer to buying, I'm starting to wonder if a trike might be the way to go.

I'm 58, fit, and have no major health issues. I did have a heart attack almost two years ago, but have had no problems since then. The meds I take sometimes make me feel light-headed for a moment, and that concerns me when thinking about buying the SWB. And as much as I hate to face it, I am getting older and lord knows what kind of health issues could start popping up. And that's got me thinking about going with a trike...

I've been eyeballing the Terratrike Tour II and am thinking more and more that it would make more sense to go with it instead of the Giro.

I mainly ride on the greenway and on rails-to-trails, with some occassional roads thrown in.

Thoughts?

Thanks.
