As far as I know, there is no trike or recumbent specific club in TV. However, there is one that has several TV members, including my wife and me. The club is called the CRABS (Crusty Retired All Bent Society). We ride 3 times per week (Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday) on many of the great bike trails throughout central FL. Occasionally, we ride inside TV. We welcome everyone to join us. Nice folks and fun rides. Our motto is "we ride to eat."

If anyone is interested, our rides are posted on the central Florida Yahoo website: Yahoo Groups

My wife and I have noticed how the number of trike riders seems to be booming in TV, recently. It used to be a pretty rare sight to encounter one. Now, it's common.

My husband and I also have Cat Trike's we purchased at Village Cycle a couple of years ago. We really enjoy cruising around the Villages and no longer have lower back or wrists pain like I used to experience on our older mountain bikes because of the need to
lean forward for the handlebars. We also recently purchased Sun bicycles from the bike shop in Wildwood that have regular handlebars that enable us to sit upright. We like to use both type of bikes for fun.

I saw you some years back with your Greenspeed trike and your dogs. A very distinctive sight, indeed!

One of the couples that we ride with live in The Plantation, and ride Greenspeed tandem trikes. On our rides, they are the ones who get the most attention.

I get emails about your CRAB rides. I'd participate but I get one heck of a workout right here in the bubble.

If a "bent" club was formed, I would probably join. Not really interested in riding with a group, though.
