Check out and see if you have a local bicycle action group, as they often hire great bikes, including trikes and recumbents out for rides at really tiny prices. My local one charges a $10 annual fee for residents and $20 for non-residents and then asks for either a cash security or else your passport or drivers' licence when you check a bike out, which is returned when you bring the bike back. Anything from one hour to three days is fine, which is brilliant if you want to borrow a cargo bike to help with a move or to do a big shopping run.
Alas, some parts of the world have loads of this sort of thing, others none at all. If you're ever in Erskineville, I can hook you up ;-) AND give you cycling lessons to see if we can overcome the falling!
