| Jun 24 at 10:44 | comment | added | Daveh0 | @Willeke After reading everyone's answers, it's pretty clear to me that she'll keep up better, have to exert herself less, will be safer and will feel more stable/comfortable (and thus have more fun) on a recumbent, so that's where I'm headed. Thanks for helping me get there. | |

| Jun 23 at 6:38 | comment | added | Peter - Reinstate Monica | Your answer seems a little incongruent: You start with "It is mostly not about the bike or trike.." and continue with "a trike is usually slower than a bike". Which one is it now? ;-) | |
