I agree. I've had my Catrike Road for 8 years. I knew the Villages would be an ideal place to ride, with the exception of the MM trails. I hang mine on a home-made rack in the garage. It is easily transported in my pickup truck.

The recumbent is better suited for me since I have neck and back problems. The one thing you'll notice is you can't use the weight of your body to help pedal. It's all in the legs. One heck of a workout. I love it.
