RE: CSC Trike Kit

I like the looks of that one over some of the others. But having recently rode a trike for the first time I strongly suggest a try before you buy approach. I found them to be uncomfortable, sometimes unnerving and not at all what I expected. When either of the rear wheels hits a bump or pothole the front end does a "head shake" (sometimes violently). Turns require much more effort than I thought and just feel weird. On the open road constant left preasure is required to keep them straight as they seem to be very effected by road crown. The only reason I would consider one would be if it was the only way I could "stay in the wind". If thats the case then go for it, I'm sure you'll adapt to the changes. Otherwise (IMHO) stay on two wheels.
