Trikes!

I'm an enthusiast for recumbent tricycles, and am now riding my third.

What with arthritis and all, I can't handle a normal bike and need a way

to get cardiovascular exercise without walking.

 Also it's a nifty way to get to and around the NCSU campus.

1) This is the trike I ride now, a Hotmover made in New Zealand

with a Currie electric assist.

On the Brickyard at NCSU; first in front of the Library, next in front of the math building

Cruising NCSU

Left: under the math building. Right: next to an alternative fuel car, Brickyard

2) My first trike was a Thebis, an exotic magnesium-framed over-engineered marvel that was a delta (two wheels in back)

that also STEERED in back and POWERED in back. After I sold it the new owner gussied it up with this very elaborate setup with a fairing and a trailer.

3) The Thebis, with a little Photoshop.

4) and 5) My second trike was a Tricruiser,

Cool, huh?
