I have been trying to catch up on some of these threads in the 65-85 thread ( I'll be 67 in a week or so ) and find a lot of them very interesting. Having several health issues, I can see my self on a trike at some point if I want to continue to ride. I have seen the Catrike bikes and would love to try one of them out. I bought a Lynskey gravel frame last year and had my local shop build me a real nice bike that I absolutely love. I don't ride it off road very much and stick mostly to paved trails. I enjoy riding very much but there are times when it becomes painful. A new knee is coming in November and they assure me that I am in good shape and will be back on the bike before long. The Rheumatoid arthritis is becoming the real issue and I wonder if a trike would help out with lower back pain and especially the pain in my hands. I will hold out as long as I can but I see a trike at some point. Do any of you ride a catrike and how do you like it ? Are there any other brands that are comparable to the Catrike ? Thanks for your input, boomer.
