Re: New to 'bents

To answer your question, my daughter currently rides a regulary DF with training
wheels.
She really loves to sit on the seat of my trike with me, as we are both small,
we both fit. I
know it's not the safest so only once in a while around the neighborhood.

I do have a tag-a-long trike that I found at Dick's Sporting Goods but I
haven't come up
with a way to attch it to my trike, yet. Have been working on it though. I
can't use the
places already there as it would leave here trike too low (with seat leaning
forward). Has
anyone else done this with a child's tag-a-long and a EZ 3?

The other question I have - would Terracycles Easy Racers Easy Reacher Underseat
Rack fit
my EZ-3. http://www.terracycle.com? That is my real question. It doesn't say
anything
about fitting their trikes. Some of the accessories I see on line say fits all
but the EZ trikes.
I already bothered Wo (ERRC) attempting to order things that wouldn't fit my
trike. I don't
want to invest if it isn't going to fit my bike. Maybe I would be better off
with a regular
bike rack on the back but I really like the idea of underseat racks, I wouldn't
need to get
off the trike at all.

Did I mention how much I love my 'bent? I love all kind of HPV but the
difference between
DF & 'bent is the difference between a Chevy Chevette and a Rolls Royce - if
only the
roadies knew what they were missing.

Thanks for any help in advance.
