Is the Dark Side stronger?

No. Quicker, more seductive...

Indeed. Luigi has been robbed of his pedals on a temporary basis.

It needs clippy pedals; SPDs or the like.. Toe straps are nearly impossible
to reach on bent trikes, and anything else has means you have to fight
gravity to keep feet up :-).
Its not as if you can fall off when stationary !

Hope you enjoy Mr Frosty.


I'm surprised you'd not been to Kevin's shed & garden before.
A place devoted to the weird and wonderful.


I had huge fun riding Kevin' Ice-Q demonstrator a few months ago, and may be
looking to get a Q-NT model come the spring.

In the mean time I have a two wheeled PDQ, which got very dirty yesterday
riding along a lane covered in a thick muddy slurry. It being the "end of
term" 'bent lunchtime ride, led by Pete Whelan (to bring the thread round
again)....

:-) I bet you are!

Be interested to know how you find it mixing with traffic compared to on
the uprongs. I felt more confident (and felt that drivers slowed
better/gave more room) on the anthrotek - mostly cos a trike takes up
more room I think, plus it allowed me to signal *properly* whilst still
remaining in control, but then others seem to be more concerned that
their visibility on a 'bent isn't as good as an upright.

Hence my curiousity to see how you find it on the lanes of Norfolk,
since they're not all that far removed from the lanes of Cambridgeshire
(though a million miles from the streets of south london!).

And yes, we need pics!!!
