New transport.

On the weekend Sharon and I tried out two trikes from Fuse Recumbents. I came away from a 4km ride with no issues, and the 8-month preggo chick's only issue going up a hill was that her belly was getting in the way enough to stop her.

So shortly I shall possess a secondhand, 1993 Greenspeed trike, with trailer so I can take parcels down to the post office. Very happy about this. It'll save us some petrol money, and it's a form of exercise that is fairly low impact. Combined with my swimming lessons, I'll hopefully be doing good, exercise-wise.

But I would definitely advise that the user have a really good try of it first, and ride in company with an experienced rider for the first few trips.

Well put.
