Found a RED TRICE online!

After many Google and Craigslist searches, within 750 miles of Tucson, I only found two used ICE Trice recumbent trikes for sale.  One in CA and one in NM.  Oddly enough, they were listed together on the same classified recumbent board at The Hostel Shop.


I was originally looking for the "NT" model (narrow track) like the one in CA but liked the description of the trike in New Mexico best and thought that would make a nice mini-vacation for Denise and I. After communicating with the seller, I was sold.  Kester was very nice, and very willing to hold the trike until I could make arrangements for us to take the time come pick it up.

Turned out the annual Balloon Fiesta was soon so we scheduled our trip to coincide with that for something special to do.

Researcing Recumbent Trikes

So my research begins...

I looked at Jeff's trike and some other brands & models:
- even this odd bike: RANS Crank Forward


While Googling "Recumbent Trikes", I found this great blog of a guy riding around the entire USA on a trike;  http://cycleamerica2009.blogspot.com/

This man is riding the entire USA border on a ICE Trice Q NT.



I researched the ICE brand some more and really liked this Trice Q-NT in red, just like in the blog.

Wow, these things are expensive!
Maybe I can start out with a used trike.  Is there such thing?
