Re: Pashley? Worth considering?

Guy,

Thanks for that. I looked it up on Google and it is very interesting but
rather pricey.

I may keep a look out for a used example.

Pashley work bikes are as tough as anything, our Post Office have used
them for years, and the trike is equally well thought-of. But it is a
work bike, a load carrier.
You may well be better off looking at an upright touring trike or a
Newton conversion.

What pray tell is a Newton conversion? And where could I get info about an
Upright touring trike?

The Newton is an upright tadpole trike conversion, here's a pic:

Probably the best starting point for info on upright trikes is here:
http://www.tricycle-association.org.uk/

And a good place to see and discuss trikes is the York Rally in June:

Ask Austin, he and his dad make them. You'll find him in
uk.rec.motorcycles.classic... or The Shedde.

See? The attributions are quite clear: Brian asked that, not me.
That is doubly clear because in the self-same post I said:

which is... Austin's shed.

Ah, I'd wondered what would happen when Derek was no longer able to
pursue his passion for his Newtons.

I seem to have got some of my quotes confused :-).

Having looked at the alternatives I think the Pashley probably is the best
answer for me although it is about as sexy as Nana Royle :-(.

Perhaps spurred on by the cost of a trike (upright or recumbent) the divine
Mrs M gave me a lesson on a two wheeler tonight. Gliding and balancing was
not a problem but pedalling and balancing led to task overload. Anyhow I am
going to give it a go for the next two weeks and if at the end it is proving
too difficult I will probably opt for the Pashley.

Thanks very much for the advice. You have given me much to ponder.

Yes... but... I didn't say you said it, I said that you said that Brian
said it.

I was replying to your post, 'cos Brian's post didn't show up here [1]
so I didn't have it to reply to. The attributions I quoted showed that
I was replying to Brian's question *as quoted by you*.
