    Are we talking large, heavy upright trike or fast recumbent trike?

    Unless she is so old that any fall is life threatening or has balance issues or is otherwise disabled, I'd also try to convince her to try a comfortable bike with a rather upright sitting position. On paved ground without lots of traffic almost everybody can ride at a leisurely pace.

  • I HAD mostly been looking at upright trikes, but am now convinced recumbent is the way (and I was lucky enough to find one that was reasonably priced).

  • My hopes are that this trike experience will give her the confidence to eventually move on to a standard 2-wheeler in the near future (maybe by next trip), but there's just no way she'll do it now... she almost bailed on the trip because the biking aspect was really freaking her out,.. hence my quest to find her the right bike.

  • She might be one of the people who really take to recumbent riding. People who have never done it don't realize the fun of it. Which is part of why I suggest all of the group try it.
