View Full Version : Rode some Terra and Catrike bikes
I was in Georgia for business and got a day off to drive down and visit my father who lives in "The Villages" in Florida. There was an outdoor expo going on and they had some trikes you could try out. I rode a few Terra trikes and also some Catrikes. Nice bikes, super expensive but they really didn't make me go WOW, I have to have one. Seemed like all of them had a really small back tire on them. After riding those commercial bikes I still like the Street Fox better.

P.S. I also got a chance to ride a Segway, petty neat.

I've ridden both also. It seemed to me I topped out the speed really fast, and I could have gone more, just not enough high gears for me. Of course I was in 'bent shape from riding every day also. That bigger rear tire really makes a difference.
OTOH, there was no testing involved...just got on and rode!
