This is the Corsa that I owned for less than a year. I just never really got into it so I sold it. After I met my friend, Nick, who rides a Corsa, I regretted selling it. Nick really flies on his and I can’t keep up with him on a trike.
Laid Back Log
Notes about my velomobiles, recumbent bikes and trikes
Laid Back Log 
I love your site, I was a very avid cyclist back in my day, Cat 3, but with this constant neck pain that travels down my scapula and eventually leaves my right arm numb, I have almost quit riding altogether, have gone to comfort bikes, changed geometry, had several fittings done. Alas I am hopeful I will once again be able to ride, recumbent seems to be the savior for me, now the big dilemma trike or 2 wheeler, I really want that sense of speed, and still want to climb up Palomares, thanks for all the info. I want to eventually go out with all my riding buddies and be able to keep up, any insight? Thanks in advance…

For the fastest recumbent, I’d suggest taking a look at these 2 wheelers:
– Bacchetta Carbon Aero (http://www.bacchettabikes.com/bikes/performance/carbon-aero-2.0)
– Carbent (http://www.bentupcycles.com/carbent-hpv-raven-zr.html)
– Schlitter (http://schlitter.bike)
Since these bikes are produced in low volume, they’ll appear expensive compared to standard road bikes. It might be difficult riding with your buddies on their conventional bikes. You may be faster than them on the flats and rolling hills, but slower on the climbs.
As far as 2-wheel vs. 3-wheel… If you compared the fastest trikes (ICE VTX, Catrike 700 and Carbentrike) to the above 2 wheelers, you’ll be considerably faster (maybe 2-3 mph average) on the 2-wheeler.
