Never rode a WizWheelz; but I *love* my Catrike Speed. Catrikes were voted
"Trike of the Year" for the last 4 years in a row. Hands-down the best trike
value out there. Amazing handling, super light, stiff, fast, comfortable,
adjustable and versatile. 300 miles? Ten 30-mile rides? It's practically
a new trike. Get the Catrike, save money, and be happy.

Who voted? Where?
When I test rode a Catrike several years ago I didn't like the way it
steered. The WizWheelz and Greeenspeed, OTOH, had comfortable steering.

I dunno, but Catrike has the awards listed on their homepage. When I say
"best trike value," I mean feature for feature nothing touches it in its
price range. I believe it is one of the lightest production trikes at around
28 lbs. The price has gone up considerably since I bought my Catrike Speed
3 years ago; but so has everything in the cycling world. Retail prices
across the industry are through the roof (as if you guys didn't know).

Toe-in has to be set carefully, and it does affect handling. I have the
2003 polymer kingpin bushings, which do add a welcome bit of steerer
damping. I've had zero problems with them so far (knock on double-butted
aluminum). Steering is still quite sporty, but seems to be mannerly at
speed. BTW: I *love* the Dura-Ace 9-speed bar-end shifters on the Catrikes.
Best shifters ever made, IMO.

I've test ridden a Greenspeed, and the steering was comfortable. I've never
taken one for a fast ride, though. Nice trike if you have the dough.
