Originally posted by NordlysThey are widly used to get over hills and mountains and get quite good reviews. Especially with recumbent trikes you can go over them even with half a kilometer an hour without falling over. Undoable with any bike. Your back will like a recumbent too. If I will ever go over a mountain, it will sure be with a trike.
A recumbent bicycle? I'd like to try a recumbent tricycle, but it probably wouldn't be the most convenient vehicle here (too hilly), and they are terribly expensive.
They are expensive, indeed. As a Dutch that will be the biggest obstacle to get over to finally buy one, of course...

Originally posted by AikoI know someone who had a recumbent tricycle, but sold when she moved to a hilly area because she found it impractical there. Another concern is that most roads here don't have a separate bicycle path, and many are quite narrow, so it's important that you can be seen easily and can see well yourself. I am still tempted to try, though. It'll probably be the price more than anything else which will keep me from doing it.
