I bought my recumbent trike (Catrike) 13 years ago specifically to ride here in the Villages. At first, I tried the MMs but tired of breathing cart exhaust. I would never ride it on the streets or in the squares for obvious reasons. I get more than enough exercise riding my regular circuit through my neighborhood and rarely come in contact with traffic. The worst scenario would be a car door opening or one backing out of a driveway. I can no longer ride a conventional bike due to the condition of my cervical and lumber spine. I highly recommend the recumbent trike for its stability and excellent aerobic and cardiovascular workout.
