"Training" wheels
I am hoping someone can help me. We have an EZ Ride 2 wheel recumbent. We don't ride it very much because at slow speeds it is very unstable. I rode it in 2004 in the New York 5 boro bike tour and kept having to stop and put my feet down when I slowed down and also had to walk up the bridges because I could not get enough speed to stay upright. Are there "training" wheels or stabilizers that they make for these bikes??? Thanks.

Putting in some dedicated, slow moving practice time may help.
I was pretty wobbly starting out, had a hard time with my heels hitting the front wheel during turns, (Short wheelbase bent) balance difficulties, etc. After a few afternoons of stop, go, and go real slow practice, I gained a fair amount of confidence. Might be easier than fitting outriggers to your bike. |

You might also consider getting a trike instead...
