Steve Garro rides a trike for other reasons, but I bet he knows a thing or two about them in general and what makes a good one.

You beat me to it.

My first call would be to Garo!

I almost bought a Nobilette trike a couple years ago. If I had the room, I would have. The owner had it built for his wife who had MS, I think. It was very cool. Built like an English racing trike.

I figure someday I'll need one, too.

I'm sure he knows quite bit about them in general but I thought he rides an arm powered trike?

They are actually fairly common over there. I remember once seeing a photo of a Chas Roberts custom done out of 753 tubing.

I will see if I can find it.

I saw a lovely Longstaff trike once.
Maybe one of Rivendell's mixtes would be a good thing?

Wow, this is timely for me, too. Two weeks ago I had sudden severe vertigo and wound up having something called a cavernous malformation removed from my cerebellum. My vision and balance have come back quite a bit but there are no guarantees that they'll come back all the way. I'm hopeful, but it's nice to know there are some decent alternatives to my bikes if it comes to that.

I almost backed out into a guy but someone started yelling "there's a bike behind you!". I couldn't see a thing, and didn't know what they were talking about until I got out of the car to look, just as he rode by. If you go that route, I'd suggest one of those flag/whip antenna type deals...

If you're going to get an English Racing Tricycle you really would do well to get a Longstaff. Two wheel drive is a huge plus if you live in a country where you drive on the right rather than the left side of the road. It's challenging enough riding trikes around corners without the additional complication of the torque from single-wheel drive acting to reinforce, rather than cancel out, the effect of the crown of the road.
