They would call when one of the assembly lines would break and I'd race over on my trike and save the day - great fun and it paid well. Well now I live in Florida and work at a big powerplant the distance from the parking lot to the control room is about a 1/2 mile and I'm always got alot of stuff I'm carrying and I'm getting older as well. Well, I just bought myself a Schwinn Meridian Trike from Walmart on-line for $249 (see link). Its a very good tricycle and I recommend it on a budget and can't find a good used one for sale. On Walmarts site they have 609 customer reviews and currently it scores 4.5 stars out of 5 - not to shabby.

The one tip I could add if you buy either a Schwinn Town & Country or Meridan is before you assemble (Assuming you buy it from Walmart or mail order) is to get the wheels trued and tensioned. The machine assembled wheels leave much to be desired in tensioning and trueness.
