Hello Halthane,
Sorry, I should have refreshed the page before posting. A lot of recommendations for a trike....I will have to consider it. Thanks for the brand name, I will look them up.
Thanks for the info regarding the roller-brake, I might want to be able to stop. So, are the roller-brakes only useful if you ride slowly or are small framed? I am only planning on slow riding.
It seems that most have recommended the V-brakes if I can manage them. My fingers are quite swollen and not very strong but they are only occasionally painful, so I could probably manage.
Ouch, your poor Mum, having all 3....I also have fibromyalgia. If someone knocks into me it can feel like I have been corked and it sometimes gives me muscle spasms in my ribs that make me feel like I am having a heart attack...it's not fun. I am interested to know how she goes if she gets the 1 speed Townie. Are you buying for her? When is she looking at getting it?

Thanks,
Jodi
