You need to talk to these people Freetrike.co.uk Really helpful I'm not affiliated to them in any way other than listening to their very sound advice.

It's a great idea for balance issues to ride with three wheels. I ride a trike because I've got a knee that bends when it wants to and isn't really under my control, so stopping and putting a foot down is a problem. I was wondering about the stability of an upright compared to a recumbent. Does...

That looks interesting. It's not quite what I was expecting as a mountain trike. How much can it cope with trail wise? I'm a trike user, too but mine is a recumbent. I've managed to end up underneath it twice so far.

Hi Paulina, glad to have you here.

Hi again. Is that the Portes du Soleil near Montreux? ( There is more than one)

Are they chemins with a road number? Would look like CV2 or whatever number. If so, yes, it's a public road. If in doubt you can go to the Mairie and ask. If they are private people usually put up a sign. Or just go for it and see if anyone yells at you. If it's on a 25000 map it's probably a...

I fly. Mostly a light aircraft, but when it's nice and warm, an autogyro. A couple of weeks gliding every year and a bit of ballooning, too.

Really? Don't the dangly bits get cold?

Could try oil from a can....

Good! Welcome here

Oh, cool! Another trike person here. I like it. I ride my Scorpion on gravel, don't do gnarly stuff. Only snag is some of the bike passages are a bit narrow. (But I got a key, don't tell the feds). Love your Azub.

I've got a Peugeot touring bike from about 1997 gathering bird shit in the garage. Weighs a ton, really hard gears, and I actually rode it to Santiago de Compostelle (well, pushed it a lot of the way). 1500km. Must have been barking. Ben riding ever since.

I'm spending some a lot of time there and would like to get one of my trikes there, which is turning out to be a serious problem. Failing that, I would be prepared to buy one in the country but it looks as if my only option would be to buy a muscle trike as a personal import and add a motor. I...

I've been known to bring mine into the kitchen.

Trailer? More comfortable for the rug rat, as well. If it's big enough to not fit in the trailer get a follow on bike.
