Where do you think new bikes and trikes come from? The story about them being manufactured by people
is a lie told by the manufacturers so the can charge more money.

P.S. The best performing bikes and trikes are those that were raised under free-range conditions.

That is false, several studies have shown genetically enhanced recumbents are far faster than
free-range and have much stronger frames although the rider does risk a slight increase of cancer
and/or brain tumors

Not to mention the possibility that all that indiscriminant "breeding" on the open-range can result
in offspring that resemble a Revive....

Larry,

I'm not an art aficionado, but the concept of art is to produce a feeling or emotion from the
beholder. One of the strongest emotion we have as humans

misleading and abused. However, there is one underplayed emotion that any successful trike should
invoke, and that is 'envy'.

I can see "envy", in the sense that we might envy someone who owns such-and-such trike. And I'm
not denigrating the appearance of trikes with the large rear wheel - a friend of mine had a
fairly old Trice, and I loved the way that big wheel was just about at the level of the riders
head - reminded me of some of the old Formula One race cars, with the air intakes for the carbs
just behind the driver. I could just imagine that I was Jim Clark in his Lotus, sitting on

And now I'm thinking all kinds of weird thoughts about those big wheels. Calling Dr. Freud!

It has been said that "words mean things", or something like that. The trouble is, we live in the
world of Humpty Dumpty of "Alice In Wonderland", where words meant whatever he wanted them to
mean. So, dictionaries are fated to go the way of the dinosaur.

“When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said, in a rather scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it
to mean—neither more nor less.” “The question is,” said Alice, “whether you can make words mean so
many different things.” “The question is,” said Humpty Dumpty, “which is to be master—that’s all.”

to make it bigger?

Maybe this explains why some people want to change their Catrike Speed's front wheels from
305's to 349!

And now I wonder how to view the 2004 Catrike Speed, with its hollow front axles! But speaking of
bigger wheels - I got a chance to ride (briefly) a late-prototype Catrike Trail, which has 406's
on all three wheels, has a bit less recline, and a few other things that set it apart from the
Speed. Both do have one thing in common, though: Paulo's got them working with about the least
amount of brake steer I've encountered. And one other thing: they're both fun to ride!

No, no, no!! It goes like this, "Just because you got a short drive shaft, doen't mean you don't
have a high-speed rear-end!!"
