Plus the health benefits, no worries of blood clots, back pains, wrist pains, neck pains, or back pains.

Thank you for this view into recumbent trikes.

[SFCRambo]

Love my Catrike Dumont. Wish I had it 50 years ago.

[thomasconboy]

I ride one because I had a stroke and it’s keeping me out on the rides

[TheFlamingEyeball]

Ah, this is the 'advantages' video. Tim @BikesVienna is a great guy. Great shop.

haha made me laugh when he said upright cyclists 'cheat' when they stand to go uphiil. its sort of true. i've been saying that for years. i find my catrike 700 climbs well. its about the same as an upright cyclist who doesn't resort to cheating and stays in the saddle. its maybe a bit better due to being able to push on the seat. its a heavy bike, but i think being about to get more power down (about half way between sitting and standing on an upright bike) counteracts the trikes weight. in my experience, i can keep pace uphill with roadies og my fitness level who dont stand. but they can definitely kick my ass by cheating, i mean standing.

[Recumbenttrike]

yes, they are. I rode a recumbent trike in Europe, Africa, middle east and central asia, including countri like Iraq and Afghanistan. 35.000 km across about 40 countries!!!

I have a Catrike Pocket and love it! Besides having fun It’s easy to make friends with a trike because people will stop you and talk about it.

[eileenjohnston]

I love my Catrack Trail. Love it! Love it! Love It!

[EverythingRomeo_]

Thank you for clearing up some differences. It was a big help. Also you aren't fooling anyone. Where is Blade, Whistler?

[anthonymalovrh]

Sold my trike after putting 10, 000 miles on it. So much fun! HP Velotechnik Scorpion FX

Won't it be better to go for full velomobile than just usual recumbent trike, given that the fairings would massively improve the aerodynamic efficiency? Or there's a lot of price difference between the two?

[paetonlaur]

I like tadpole tricycles, but my main downside is the price tag. Tricycles are very expensive and are frowned upon in car-centric cities.

[joelindsey]

I like the Shimano clip pedals I think mine are 565’s big pedal flat on one side clip on other, very versatile and reasonable in price.

[johnsonpaul]

I don't understand the comment about using your weight to help pedal. Even at my age of 75, with my back against something, my legs can push a helluva lot more than just my weight. I might add that I have never ridden a recumbent

[AzMedic]

Because recumbent trikes are so low I have a hard time getting on and off them. :(

[TheWayne]

Vehicle drivers have to move over farther to see the trike since it sets so low is my opinion.

[shelleyshell]

I have yet to see a bike I didn’t like, lol. I would love to test ride a recumbent trike 🤩. It’s awesome that the geometry of the recumbents allow more people to ride bikes in comfort 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[Darthrocker]

im 475lbs, can i ride one of these? if not what would you recommend?

[theapachewarrior]

I loved riding bikes my whole life. A accident injured my shoulder permanently which made is painful to ride a bicycle. Bought a Recumbent trike and it was the best thing I ever did. I tell everyone who asks (which are a lot of people) it is the funnest bike I have ever rode, it's the most comfortable bike I have ever rode and it is the fastest bike I have ever rode! Good informative video by the way.
