Tricycle question
Not expecting much but here goes. Does anyone have experience of the
Mission 20" tricycle (or Mission trikes in general)? Is it a good piece of kit? It's £425 which is a bit steep but understandable given the speciality nature of the machine. Alternatively, can anyone recommend a small adult tricyle for £400? Cheers, Colin |

All performed very well. hth |

I recommend NOT trying a "proper" adult trike; you'd never put up with a lesser one... http://www.longstaffcycles.com/trike.html BugBear (proud owner) |

I also saw the £750+VAT for the hybrid-style trike and, while I'm sure it's really quite nice, it's a little excessive for what I'm after! The £4000 trike-tandem, though, should be a Museum of Weirdness! Colin |

It was an, errmm, very interesting machine - extraordinarily fast, but with a cornering style not unlike sidecar racing. They also regularly rode it long distances - coming up to visit us in Edinburgh for the weekend (they lived in Wales). -- (Simon Brooke) http://www.jasmine.org.uk/~simon/ ;; Skill without imagination is craftsmanship and gives us ;; many useful objects such as wickerwork picnic baskets. ;; Imagination without skill gives us modern art. ;; Tom Stoppard, Artist Descending A Staircase |

I know someone who regularly takes theirs to the New forest tracks.. The diBlasi folding trikes are also interesting. John B |

Ours has done much of Europe and the UK with my daughter and camping equipment on the back. We've only ridden one TT - and finished in a tad over 29 minutes for a 10 when KJ was just 5. Its presently gathering a bit too much dust but it is a truly wondrous machine to ride. John B |
