I spent the first month of my recovery considering recumbents and, specifically trikes. When a good deal appeared on craigslist, I jumped at the opportunity to acquire an Ice Sprint. I love this thing and, although I put more miles on my upright bikes (commuting), I reward myself with long rides on the trike.
