Which is better, single speed or three speed? Which is better, single speed or three speed? I am 45 and buying an adult trike because I never learned to ride a bike when I was younger.  I don't know if I get a single speed or three speed?
Because of your interest, age and desire to ride a trike, I would recommend a 3 speed. Trikes are very heavy and if you are new to biking you may need an easier gear than what a single speed will offer stock on most trikes.
