I joined bike forums for the wisdom of others as I am in search of 'my perfect bike' to use for both gas free commuting and just for fun/exercise. It has been over 20 years since I have ridden a bicycle. I've had several styles of 'Wedgie' bikes in the past and hated them all. I saw someone on a recumbent which repeaked my interest. I never though about a trike until I started reading about the Tadpoles, now I can't wait to get one. I am carefully checking all options and makes of Tadpoles. I'm also looking into Electric Motors because my area is very hilly and curvy, with no shoulder to ride on and do not wish to be flattened. I have a Seacycle that I pedal in the creek but I need something with wheels other than my 4Runner and Harley.
