The Boss of this here forum (a good guy!!) asked me about suggestions, since I'd been here a short time now- and since my wife is currently riding a 77 lb behemoth of a Schwinn Meridan trike- and I just ordered her a Terra Trike Rambler, thought that perhaps there should be a forum just for trikes. He suggested I start it here- to see if there's any interest, hence this post!! My wife and I have just gotten into cycling after the whole adult thing.... she's in her mid-50's- and I'm in my early '60's... I'm on a Fuji Absolute 1.0, but she doesn't feel comfortable getting on 2 (back problems), so has stuck with her trike- and she's riding it up to 5 miles now, not bad for a single-speed lead sled! We're going further and further each time, and enjoying it a lot.
She's nervously excited to get it- it only weighs about 37 lbs- and has an 8 speed hub, so will be a major step up from her. I ordered it with all the good upgrades- BB-7 brakes, the best idler set, etc. We ordered it from Utah Trikes- and it should be here next week late, hopefully. It's currently being assembled- after a custom red powdercoat application.
We'll post pictures of it here when it arrives!
Soooooo... anyone else here interested in trikes??
