I am interested in Trike touring please teach us about full time touring on a tadpole trike...

I recommend checking out @TravelsByTrike who just did a 9,000 mile tour across the US on a trike last year!

I need a workstool like the one Mickey is using here. What model is it?

[@LaidBackCycles]

It's the STL-2 Rolling Shop Stool by Park Tool!

I'm 5'10" and go about 345 lbs. Is the Max my only choice? Thanks!

[@LaidBackCycles]

The Catrike MAX is a great option, but you also have the GreenSpeed Magnum XL and TerraTrike Rambler as options. The ICE Adventure HD has a weight limit of 330lbs, so there's an option of hitting that target too.

I started out with a Catrike Trail as my first trike and moved on to a 559 and a 700 which I ride interchangeably depending on the type of ride and trail I ride on. After many years with the 559 which I live I can tell you-I that folding is a pain in the butt, dirty, and a nuisance. I just added a hitch and use a Hitchrider rack. 30 seconds and it’s on the car and off I go. I fold the 559 once a year when I go to Florida for the winter. I fold the 559 and put it in the rear of my suv and put the 700 on the rack. It’s awkward to fold and maneuver, can make a great mess and lord help you if you turn it inside the car and bend the derailleur.
