Well, I currently have 2 tadpoles. A Windcheetah and a Trice QNT 20 with suspension. I have also owned two different Kettwiesels, a Logo tadpole, and a Rans Trizard, and a Trice QNT 26. I have done extensive test rides on a Catrike 700 as well. So I am a fan of trikes. But not for going uphill quickly.
I currently have 3 different recumbent bikes, and have owned several others that have come and gone since then. Highracers, midracers, USS, OSS, mostly SWBs, but one LWB too.
Been riding seriously since I was about 12, and that included recumbents since I was 17.
I also currently have three different road bikes too. Different vintages, and in different materials.
I am bikesexual. I'll ride anything.
My point is that I have a broad perspective that exceeds that of most cyclists, and I see the value in all types of HPVs. They all have their pros and cons.
