Thanks for your interest.

Ugh. 3-wheeled wedgie for old people. Thanks but no thanks.

You sound kinda like Jessie James on Monster Garage tonight: "EWW! I hate trikes"!

At that point; I lost interest in tonights TV program (making a Peterbuilt 18-wheeler into a
massive trike).

I don't hate recumbent trikes. But As far as I know this one hes selling is one with a saddle and pedals right
below that and low gearing because its meant for old/disabled people. Hard to tell as the link
doesn't work. I wish him luck but its not for me cause when I'm 80 or 90 I expect to be making the
streets unsafe on a Greenspeed or something similar. ;-)

Upright trikes should not automatically be linked with "old and slow", as many of them are ridden by
bona fide maniacs - http://www.tricycle-association.org.uk/photo_album.htm shows a fairly mild piece
of trike cornering. Readers familiar with "Viz" comic will be aware of the character Biffa Bacon;
there is a school of thought which suggests that Biffa's Dad
(http://www.viz.co.uk/latest/125biffa/page01.htm - bloke in the vest) was based on one Noel Knox, a
trike-riding member of Houghton Wheelers (whose members once included Bryan Ferry, trivia fans)

Aha I take it all back. Looks....ehm well... weird but cool. The only ones I could find on Ebay were
the old and slow variety.

Thanks for setting me straight.

(Still rather have a Greenspeed tho. ;-) )

I've found upright deltas are easier to balance than recumbent deltas since the upright permits more body lean.

Never tried an upright tadpole.
How about upright tadpoles?
Do they handle well?
