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.

cars are scary
I ride a road-bike, and have been considering trying out a recumbent - they look fun. However, the surrounding cars are scary, and I like having the extra visibility from being higher, so I can see cars more easily and hopefully they can see me better too. (I can see over the top of cars, but not over 4WDs).
How did find the traffic on your test-ride?
