It reminds me of the go-carts I use to build as a kid \u2013 except instead of being made of wood and junkyard wheels, it is made out of premium materials. And of course, it has details like gears, drive chain, and brakes! What it has in common with the go-carts of my youth is that incredibly fun feeling of being close to the ground while moving with speed, the wind flowing past you. I loved that feeling while I was test riding this bike.<\/p>\n<h3>Riding the Catrike 700 Performance Recumbent Trike<\/h3>\n<p>When my daughter first got on the bike, she wanted to know, \u201cHow do I steer?\u201d I told her to just go. Sure enough, she was just fine. The thing is, there is something quite instinctive about just throwing your whole body into a recumbent bike. You just immediately KNOW how to use your arms to move the handgrips. Leaning is not required, but your whole body is involved in controlling the bike and transferring power to the drive chain. I was mainly interested in seeing how fast I could go on this trike, so I was surprised that the first thing that struck me was <strong>how comfortable it is<\/strong>. With your back supported, and your head cradled by the adjustable headrest, it is wonderfully comfortable. Once I tired myself out, I spent more than an hour just idling around with it \u2013 spin the pedals once, then lay back and enjoy the sun on my face. Repeat. Repeat again! It was just so much fun. <strong>That part of it was more like a Rest ride than a Test ride!<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_24067\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24067\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.catrike.com\/700\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"24067\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/catrike-700-performance-trike-review\/catrike-700-recumbent-bike-02\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Catrike-700-recumbent-bike-02.jpg?fit=750%2C281&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"750,281\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Catrike 700 recumbent bike 02\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;What the Catrike 700 Performance Trike has in common with the go-carts of my youth is that incredibly fun feeling of being close to the ground while moving with speed, the wind flowing past you&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Catrike-700-recumbent-bike-02.jpg?fit=300%2C112&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Catrike-700-recumbent-bike-02.jpg?fit=750%2C281&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-24067 size-full lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Catrike-700-recumbent-bike-02.jpg\" alt=\"What the Catrike 700 Performance Recumbent Trike has in common with the go-carts of my youth is that incredibly fun feeling of being close to the ground while moving with speed, the wind flowing past you.

Basically, <strong>it felt like it gave me a full body workout<\/strong>. When you are climbing hills, you are pushing those pedals with your entire core and legs, while using your shoulders and arms to pull synergistically on the hand grips. That full body workout would in itself be a good reason to get a recumbent bike or trike, in my opinion.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, you do have to consider safety. Most people I know who use recumbents add on a tall flag to make sure they are seen by motorists. I did not do this for my test ride, and felt a little anxious at first. However, it seemed that no one had any difficulty noticing me on a 7-foot-long bright orange bike! Note that the bike does in fact come with a flag mount and flag.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_24047\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24047\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.catrike.com\/700\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"24047\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/catrike-700-performance-trike-review\/catrike_700_jbiscardi-6\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Catrike_700_JBISCARDI-6.jpg?fit=750%2C299&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"750,299\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Catrike_700_JBISCARDI-6\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Catrike_700_JBISCARDI-6.jpg?fit=300%2C120&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Catrike_700_JBISCARDI-6.jpg?fit=750%2C299&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-24047 size-full lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Catrike_700_JBISCARDI-6.jpg\" alt=\"In this photo of the Catrike 700 Performance Recumbent Trike, you can see the mirror above one the left front wheel.

I always add mirrors to my bikes. They are a great safety feature. As a driver, I am used to knowing what is behind me, so I don\u2019t like being on a bike and not knowing what is coming up behind me.<\/p>\n<p>Turning on this bike was remarkably nimble, and I found it so much fun that I sought out obstacle courses to maneuver around!<\/p>\n<p>Note that getting on and off this bike is a little tricky, as it is so low to the ground. Getting on requires lowering yourself carefully into the seat. To get out, you need to engage the brakes (so the trike does not move on you), while using thigh strength to stand up. I think a person with significant disabilities would need help to get on and off this trike.

As mentioned, you can put the entire power of your body into the ride on this trike. This makes for a very different, and potentially a very fast bike ride!<\/p>\n<h3>Components of the Catrike 700 Performance Recumbent Trike<\/h3>\n<p>The Catrike 700 is designed for speed. As you can see from the photos, it puts the cyclist in a low, aerodynamic body position. It has a lightweight frame that is ergonomically designed to put you in an ideal position to generate power and speed. The big 700c rear wheel ensures efficient power transfer, and high gearing gives you great shifting options for hill climbing and speed.<\/p>\n<p>You can quickly and easily adjust the bike to suit your leg length with a central adjustable boom. This video shows that, as well as the other key components.<\/p>\n<p><iframe class=\"lazyload\" title=\"Catrike 700 high performance recumbent trike.

The pedals are double-sided, with one side ready for flat shoes, and the other side set up for clipless attachment. This is a great arrangement if you like to sometimes be casual and sometimes goes clipless. For me personally, I would swap these out for regular pedals, as I never go clipless.<\/p>\n<p>The bike has SRAM gears, and a range of other quality components as well. You can see the full list of components at the end of this post.<\/p>\n<h3>Other Catrike Bikes<\/h3>\n<p>The Catrike 700 Performance Recumbent Trike is the performance model in the Catrike line.
