I have seen several comments about being seen by the traffic so won't re-ask that question.

There are several people that speak highly about CarTrike? What about GreenSpeed - is that an overpriced version of the same thing?

I have reviewed a lot of web sites to learn what is available. Does anyone buy a trike without having a test ride; there are so few shops around that carry these trikes so the variety opportunity for demo rides just doesn't exist. - or do I live in the wrong part of the country?

Any suggestions about what to look for as I continue my search?
One of my riding buddies uses only Greenspeed. If you PM me with your email I will get him to email you and get his opinion. He has owned 3 of these I believe and rides them over his other recumbents.
