I am thinking about upgrading from a wizwheelz cruiser to a catrike road.
Looking for better handling and a little more speed.
Anyone else considered this choice?

Well I've had a Catrike Road for about 16 months now (2006 Road). This is my
first recumbent and I am very happy with the bike. I put the Schwalbe Big
Apples on it to get a bit of passive suspension between me and the road
surface. Correct toe-in adjustment is critical for stability. I run mine as
neutral as possible. Be sure to check this when you get it out of the shop,
mine was way outside the specs and it made the bike wobbly.

I personally would get a Windcheetah "Speedy".

It's always /soooo/ easy to spend more of other folks' money than they
had marked out to spend themselves... ;-)

I rode a friend's high-end Greenspeed for a couple months before I got
my Road, and I like the Road a little better--especially the steering.
If the dealer doesn't sell a lot of Catrikes, beware sloppy assembly.
Get the manual and go over all the specifications (especially toe-in).
