It's calling.... calling...

It's saying... "You could be Darth Helen.... you know you want me, Darth Helen."

AAAGGGHHH!

At Mildenhall today I had a go on a bent trike. Vernon & I went on a bent tandem. The dark side is
calling!!!

AAAAGGGHHHH!!!!!!

Resistance is futile, but lack of cash isn't;-)

Have to admit, I'd love a bent tadpole trike. It just felt so natural cycling one.

The dark side is calling, calling....

Wimper...

Cheers, helen s

Those very, very nice people at ICE let me take a Trice Micro (recumbent trike) out for an hour --
which was very good of them considering it's a £2800 bike and all I left with them as security was a
mobile phone and a copy of Mike Burrow's book.

The build quality of the ICE Trice range is now very good, and the range from tourer to high-speed
racer is getting wider. Time to revise my post-lottery-win list. Remove Greenspeed, include Trice.

Any uk.r.c'ers at Mildenhall on Monday? I'll be taking a Moulton and trying to blag a ride on a
different Trice....

I doubt the Unfit Family will be as Vernon & Nathan are doing a time trial tomorrow morning. But you
never know!

Neil from ICE (the company that make the trice) told me a couple had picked a tandem trike up from
them at the rally, and were riding it back to Norwich. I did wonder if you'd taken the plunge Helen.

Wow, that's really quite nice, shame it has a £1,295 proce tag... They do a bit of Javascript to

P.S. These recumbant trikes look pretty cool...

I'd love too - but would still prefer a solo machine I think. It's my controlfreakery coming out ;-)
The couple from Norwich are in CTC locally and we've seen them out on their bent tandem at CTC
meets. Nice couple. I may have cycled past you on said wobbly bike as I was trying out a bent -
certainly went by someone on a wobbly bike as I was trying out a bent!

How about two identical bikes, a deck chair and a little bit of extra ironmongery?
