Hi, Bill here. Live in N.Cal above San Francisco in the wine country.

I'm relatively new to recumbents.. I have (my first) an EZ Sport and
a Easy Racers Gold Rush. I'm seriously looking to get a Cat
Expedition.

As a question for outfitting it.. I understand that one pedal is a
knockoff SPD? and the other is a platform? I got this from the bike
dealer in Portland. I didn't ask enough questions as time didn't
permit.. however, it seems that the Catrike website shows clipless
pedals. Help my interpretation here.

What are you folks doing for racks and fenders. I'll be riding a
couple of months on wet pavement I think.. or may put the trike and
GRR in storage and ride the Sport in the winter months. Are the
fenders helpful.. I'd assume so.

Also, what about the bike rack. Looks like Cat recommends and "Old
Man Mountain" rack which is pricy and the LBS recommends the more
inexpensive Blackburn. Are either of these "clean" installs? I saw
one while surfing earlier and should have added to Favorites.. but it
looked like it attached to the skewer ares as well as to the back of
the headrest mount.. they said it was a good platform for mounting a
rear fender w/o all the steel rods.

Does the Blackburn work with disc brakes?

Lotta questions, any help in the right direction would be great.
