go have a chat with Carey Chen at Urbane Cyclist, 160 John Street. Even if
he does not carry one you like, he can refer you to a place that has
tadpoles.

Hello folks. Avid cyclist here. Love touring, but haven't done it in
a long time. I would like to get back into it, and saw that some
recumbents are super for touring.

I'm expecially interested in the Trikes (two front wheels, one rear
wheel).

Any recommendations for great touring trikes, or are they all somewhat
built to hold months worth of equipment?

I guess I'm looking to max out storage. More storage == greater
flexibility of the trip.

I'm in Toronto, so anything based in North America would be great.
However, if my first trip is in England/Scotland/Wales, I might just
get one there when I decide to go over.

Cheers

Hi Joshua. I know they are probably the most experienced in the city.
Don't know what they have on display though.

If I'm downtown I'll give them a visit.

Cheers

Here is what Carey Chen does in his spare time with a drill, brazing
torch and steel tubing: http://webhome.idirect.com/~outlander/.

Best use a trailer like the Burley Nomad, makes life so much easier. See
pics of mine at http://www.ice.hpv.co.uk/reference_picture_gallery.htm

Thanks for the reply. After some further investigation, it showed me
the same things as you have said. I like the ICE trikes. I'm not
worried about cost, as I know about the relationship between cost and
reliability (still own my '92 Ironhorse).

Seems I'm now expecting at least 4 panniers on the arse of the trike,
as well as a top bag, and anything I could possibly fit on the sides or
behind the top of the seat. That's a lot of gear.

Cheers

Great pics. Probably gives more flexibility to the design of the trike
after all. Works with any trike / rear hub assembly?

Cheers

Yes the Q/R is replaced with a special one that has the attachment point on
it.
