Trikes? Anyone got one?

Rather random I know, but there is a reason to my madness. Now gradually my sense of balance is getting more buggered. I do enjoy biking about and to not be able to go for my three hour (yes really) jaunts into the countryside is a bit of a bummer.

From having a read around I understand that they are very different to ride, i.e. no more leaning into sweeping corners. To this end I am going to try and find someone who owns one and if they'll let me go for a ride

Could you also just keep an odd eye on your classifieds and shout if you spot something. It would mean a heck of a lot and there is cash waiting.

Most of the trikes are a little....... Grandad? However after seeing this:-

Along with the corresponding racing bike section...... I currently have thoughts running through my mind of an angle grinder and a welder

Especially if you look at the frame, it does look uncannily like a standard frame with extensions. *Paging Jonny 69 for angle grinder goodness*
