100% correct! While I prefer road bikes, my wife has an !CE Sprint "26" which I ride from time to time. It's a blast to ride. It's more of a touring trike so it isn't meant to be fast, but built more for comfort. I have, once or twice, done rides of 30 miles on it but I would never consider taking it out for a longer ride. For her, a trike is perfect since she has two artificial hips and refuses to ride a two wheeled bike.It gets her out riding, which is important to both of us.
The only issue we have found is transporting it. The ICE folds so that makes it easier to transport than ones that don't. Since we often go out of town to different places to ride, bringing the trike into the hotel room was not an option and neither was keeping it in the back of an unsecured pickup truck. The solution was a Transit Connect. Both bike and trike now stay in the back of the van unless we need the back seat.
