I have two recumbent trikes now, one e-trike and one 'acoustic' trike. They are very different, but each allows me to go many places in town. My orthopedist was enthusiatic about the trike over any other exercise except swimming, and since I don't swim much, this is the best option. I like the way you can see more, on a trike- you can look at the sky, see the wildlife, etc.

THANKS! Always need another bike. I have a commuter, a road bike, a cruiser, and a recumbent trike (I call it my crawler) but there's still some room in the stable. I argue with them all from time to time.

Grease in the shifter get sticky after several years. A liberal bath by spraying WD-40 up in the shifters, while moving the handles, should clean most of it out. Let it flow out, then spray with Teflon lube. For other easy repairs, YouTube might save you quite a few dollars because a lot of things are fairly simple if you know what to do.

I saw so many gopher tortoise on today's ride through the Tri-county trail. The best part of riding is the wildlife. Get out and ride!
