Hello Cat Trikers...

My name is Tractor Tom, and I live in Okeechobee, FL...  I'm a LONG
time recumbent biker (first was a DeFelese BiTubular Long wheel base
recumbent in 1988) and currently ride an Actionbent Jetstream 1, which
will be for sale soon.   I'm currently looking at a Cat Trike Trail
and a Terra Trike Zoomer.  Will be going down to Atlantic Bike in
Margate one of the next few weekends to get a better look.

I NEED an excuse to get back on the bikes and lose some weight and the
Actionbent has lost some of it's luster after 4000 miles.  I never did
like the hardshell seat on the Actionbent and am looking forward to
one of those wider seats on the trike.

Must go now, off to work...

With a friend, stand the trike on it's rear wheel and look at the
underside of the "crossbeam" there is a small white label.

CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHERE THE SERIAL NO. IS ON A CATRIKE TRAIL ?

THANK YOU MARION

Well here is my riding schedule should anybody be interested in
joining.

Saturday 1/12 - Long Boat Key from Downtown Sarasota. I will be
shaking out my new trike after picking it up on 1/11.

Sunday 1/13 - Riding with the group somewhere around the west coast.
My guess is Myakka but not sure overall.

Monday 1/14 - Riding the West Orange Trail more shake down just a
nice light pace.

Tuesday 1/15 - Riding with the central Florida group. My friend Bob
is arranging
http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/CentralFloridaRecumbentRiders/mes
sage/3363

Wednesday - Friday. Riding in Weston doing the nice 30 mile loop on
the bike lanes. Visiting parents

Saturday 1/19 - Withlacoochee starting from Ridge Manor (unless
somebody has a better starting location) This seems to be pretty
handy going North to South.

Sunday or Monday - Long Leaf Trace.  Great trail hopefully it will be
warm enough.  There are bathrooms every five miles and several really
nice little places to eat along the way.  I am planning to do the
full length on this trip.  My last trip there I was only able to do
about 60 miles since I did not have the proper cool weather apparel
with me.

If anybody wants to ride just email me, or just look for a lime green
expedition on one of the trails on the day.

Hi Ed,

I am planning to ride from North to South but probably only do about
60 miles or so. I should be there around 11:30 on Saturday 1/19. I
might do a warm up just a quick 30 or so on Friday afternoon, but not
sure about that yet. I can give you a call when I am in the area.

for the last couple of years. My current recumbent is a Rans Rocket. I
love it. I had a Burley Jett Creek before that. I have put more than
2900 miles on the Rans in the last 13 months. I don't know anyone
around here (Clearwater, FL) that rides trikes. I would like to try to
ride with you and your friends in Sarasota on one of the days you
mentioned.

Greetings,
Thanks to this board, I am researching the 700 as a speedy and stable
replacement for my high-racer (Volae Club) during the "wet season".
Since getting my high-racer I have been addicted to speed and feel that
the 700 would be the logical choice for me.  Are there any 700 owners
out there that can comment on performance differences between the two?
I expect an overall speed penalty, but what about any other significant
differences.

Good move Bob. I'm sure you'll enjoy the 700. Have a
good ride.

OK, I'm selling my Trice QNT and picking up a Candy Purple 700
tomorrow. Just had to see why all the Catrike owners are so happy.
Besides, I want  to be able to keep up with Steve on his Road.

I would like to thank everyone that took the time to reply to my
request for help.  Today I found a rear rack at one of the bike
shops, and now have it mounted on my trike.  I also found a Sigma
1600 computer that is wired, and has wired cadance also.  Everything
appears to be working ok, but I will have to wait until this d*mn
rain stops before I can actually find out.

Thanks again,
David

um, about the wireless... I used to have a wireless with a sending unit
that took a funky miniature 12VDC battery. The seal on the battery
compartment wasn't so good, so after one winter it filled with water
which ruint the thing. Also, the receiver had to be within 20 inches,
or no good signal.

But it was a nice computer. It had an analog-looking speedo, like in a
car, one glance told me a relative velocity without reading numbers.

I'm staying with wired now. Cateye has a decent one with extra length
for recumbent consideration and Cadence as well. Hostelshoppe.com for
that.

Hello again,

Here are a couple of questions from a new Cat:

I am having a difficult time locating a rear rack for my Road.  I
would like one that set level with the top of the seat, and all the
ones I can find would sit about 4 inches too high.  Can anyone help
with this?

Also, I was thinking that a wireless computer would be nice, but have
heard there are problems using the wireless, what's the deal with that?
Oh yeah, I have an 07 Road and it comes with the sensor mount on the
front wheel.

Thanks much,
David

P.S.  It's still raining here in North Florida and looks like it will
for the next week.  I need a ride.

Hi Dick,

I also have a speed and I bought a fairing from Oregon
that covers my feet all the way back to the rear
wheel. You can contact the electrathon people from
Oregon. If you can't find a contact email or phone,
let me know. I'll see if I can find a number. I'm
attaching a photo of my bike. You'll have to buy a
couple of sheets of corroplast to to cover the sides
and front.
Good luck.

hello all,
i have had a speed  for several years, and now would
like to ad a fairing for the winter.  i've seen the
small ones that just cover the feet, and recently saw
a larger one that came up close to the face.

does anyone have experience with either to share,and
pros and cons?

thanks

Since there doesn't seem to be much going on right now, I thought I
would jump in here and say hello. I am a new Cat owner as of last
night when I picked up my new silver Road. And since I am in norhtern
Florida, all I need is this rain to stop so I can go for a ride.

Hope to have a good, and long relationship here.

Thanks for all your feedback. Now I feel so much better. I'll be in
Las Vegas by first weekend of October and I'll try to ride Red Rock
Park, that is if I have room in my car for my recumbent. It will not
be the trike but one of my SWB.

Rick

I am in NV and I ride with a orange flag and a american one that makes it stand out more but I am still not seen by all drivers you really just have to watch out but with a DF its the same since I was almost hit so its the drivers that dont pay attention so just ride safe

Welcome, Rick!

I don't live in California, so I can't help you much on that score.
However, I think you might be surprised at how you can ride in traffic
on your trike. On my commute I have several sections with no shoulders
on the roads, so I'm riding in the driving lane. Unlike when I was on
a 2-wheeler, cars stay far away from me. They don't try to pass unless
there is plenty of room for them to go around me. Perhaps the trike is
an interesting and unique shape, so they notice it more, or pay more
attention not to crowd me than I experienced on a bike in years past.

I would strongly recommend flying a high visibility flag, streamers,
windsock or something of that sort to catch the attention of drivers
approaching you from behind.

Thanks guys, maybe I should just buy me an orange flag
and blinker and just venture out. I guess I'll never
find out if I don't go out there.
