Upright trike to rent/borrow for a few minutes?

Mrs Earthloop, a total non-cyclist, is looking at getting a trike. She prefers the idea of an upright trike to a recumbent, but I'm a little concerned that she'll have trouble going across a slope on an upright.

So, does anyone have an upright trike that we could come and have a go on in exchange for beer/cake/whatever, or know where we could hire one ?

Bikeworks or London Recumbents should be able to help.

London Recumbents were great, she particularly enjoyed getting her upright trike up to its top gear and dropping me on my single speed recumbent trike.

I enjoyed that bit too :) Better get the cranks on your unicycle sorted out cos you're too fast for me on two wheels now that I have my own trike!

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
