If your weight is more than you'd like then actually the few pounds you can shave off the weight of a frame is of fairly low importance...
Hi Bob,
There is little in the may of rigidity in my thought as demonstrated by the wobbliness in my gut. However the slowness up hills can in no way be my fault as my positive mental attitude prevents me from blaming myself but the reality remains that something must be to blame. Therefore it must be the bike. My exhausted research has plucked a figure from the air that every gramme of bike equates to 1 kilogramme of body fat.
I am primarily considering two wheels at this time due to a couple of factors, the first being that being from the Black Country, the safest route is via the ample canal system (drunken fishermen and irate barge owners aside). The paths however are designed to dissuade vehicular users and I can think of at least a dozen local points where I would get into bother with the wider track of a three wheeler. The second point would be a logistical one, in that I am also a caravanist and regularly convey a car full of people, bikes and the van, in fact the main reason for the caravan was to get away to nice places and tour them on bike and ultimately there is the cost factor. That was three factors but what the hey.
I am not turning my back on the thought of three wheels but believe at this point the most expedient way back onto the road, doing what I love is going to be with two. I hope I am a quick learner because I hate driving into Birmingham for work and around here the other road users don't take prisoners.
