ICE trumps competition

    Even a casual perusal of my posts will undoubtedly demonstrate that I am an unabashed anglophile, or at least Scotophophile. And while I may not be able to sate my desire to reside in decadent luxury in Dunedin, as is my wont, I have managed to secure an ICE trike from not-so-nearby Cornwall.

    I know most of you don't ride recumbent bikes, no less trikes, but this vehicle is a piece of British engineering that has no peer. Here's my new steed at work:

    V jealous, and not a little bit disappointed that all I can see is a trailer... :P

    @TwoWheels - ThreeWheels?

    (can't see the picture due to great firewall of china but I'm sure it's worth waiting until later for)

    "ThreeWheels? "

    I counted five altogether. Time for a name change? ;-)

    The whole controversy is preposterous. TwoWheels' two-wheeled claims are obviously ironic.

    I really like the colour of that trike, though!

    Ha! Best picture of a trailer I ever posted! Sorry about that, I'm glad Min fixed it up.

    I never realized when I registered that the name TwoWheels would someday become superannuated.

    One of these days, that trike will be riding the lovely potholed, tram-tracked roads of Your Fair City. I just have to figure out how to convince the airline that it is a necessary Mobility Aid. That, and come up with the cost of a ticket.

    What a great posting! And I love you trike! Of course, in our fair city, you'd have to be *very* careful to avoid those naughty potholes - I ought to know. I have an ICE Sprint FS2 trike and it's truly awesome, but as I'm sitting only 6" above the road, even with full suspension, you really feel them! I do have a two-wheeled bike, but I've kind of stopped using it, now I have a trike - it's just faster and more comfortable. Tell you what, let's have a trike love-in!

    Well there's this old thing, hiding in a corner of the city:

    It looks really beautiful, elegant and graceful. Is that yours, by any chance? If so, what make is it? Is it an ICE or something else? I do think trikes look better, like yours and FiveWheels', without mudguards, although they are useful for road riding in Edinburgh. Plus suspension, of course. Either way, it looks very fast and fun.
