I've been riding trikes since 2000. The Corsa was my first bent bike.
I just found that, even though I'm a bit faster on the Corsa, I have
more fun on a trike. The 700 is the fastest trike I've owned.
However, I still prefer the handling of the Speed for fast, twisty
roads.

Here are some pictures of my many trikes: http://shrinkster.com/nsp
