Neither my wife nor I felt comfortable riding 2-up on the C50. Bought the trike used to see if she would like riding as a passenger on the trike. After ~3K miles and numerous modifications to suit her ergonomics, she does not enjoy riding the trike. The reason for buying the trike was an experiment to see if we would both enjoy riding the trike. I was prepared to flip it if she didn't enjoy riding with me.
As for me, I like the added stability on sand and gravel, but the push-pull steering got old real fast. It is so much easier to steer by leaning on a bike. Skyline Drive in Shenandoah was real work, not fun. Right now, I can afford to keep both trike and bike, but can't ride both enough to justify keeping either one. I learned to ride a bike at 58, bought the trike a year ago and have put around 3K miles on it. Stability is a real issue, especially at slow speed. How much would I regret flipping the trike?
Thanks for letting me rant.
