Where are you located?Is it possible to rent one anywhere for a while to get used to it?
I know of a place in florida that rents and sells recumbents and a place in NY state that is quite good for test rides.
I own 3 recumbents, a Toureasy, Longbikes Slipstream, and a Greenspeed GTE. I wish I would have tried the GTE trike when I looked at the Toureasy.
