Riding a trike or quad ON the beach
I've ridden and raced recumbents for 10 years, currently ride a
Lightning R84.. Now I'm moving to the beach and want to know if there's some kind of trike or perhaps quad-cycle, 2 seater (pref. side by side) that can do a good job for riding on the beach. And I mean on the sand... anything can go down the boardwalk. I see some such things for rent (though they were uncertain about how well they'd go on the sand), but I'd like to hear about experiences with brands, models, tires, etc. if anyone has tried such things. I mean this for social riding so the performance and weight of the machine really make little difference, as long as it has low gearing for the occasional sand dune. - Barclay |

Other than that, i would suggest getting vry vide tires. |

Go for the widest tyres you can get. Schwalbe Big Apples are available
in width up to 2,35" but being slicks they are also excellent on normal roads. Even with low pressure in them they still roll easily and provide a very, very smooth ride, they act like suspension |
