Re: Rights vs. Responsibility

The "commercially built bodies for trikes" sounds interesting.
I'd like to know more.  Any suggestions?  I haven't given it
a lot of thought the past several years.

A couple times I almost bought a EZ-Tadpole SX for my platform.
Affordable and fun.  Built strong and heavy duty.  If they
could go as fast as yours David I'd give it a go.  Otherwise
the recumbent bicycle will do for now.  It suits my needs and
I get to enjoy the scenery along the way.  Fun and pleasant.
