Yes the trike definitely has it's appeal and stability advantages - but the 'road hog' issue is significant and the additional challenge of easy transport and overall weight ratio often arises as well. I would love to see any examples of a 'semi-recumbent' tandem trike - if anyone knows of one...

Thanks for that advice, especially about Ti vs. aluminum vs. steel - the bike designer / manufacturer I'm hoping to work with has experience with all three frame options and I really like what he does with stainless steel. I showed my wife this recumbent tandem and she 'totally gets' the...
