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.

I think the starting prices are around $3K. Depends on what you want. Some fold up and cost more, and the various bells and whistles add to the cost.
I'm getting mine for $1800, including a new trailer, mirrors, new tire on the back, delivery, flag, etc. which is a bargain. It's a solid frame, and heavy, but that doesn't bother me. My first (and only) bike prior to this dated from the 1940's and was a steel frame. The Greenspeed is the first bike I've been on with gears!
