My new toy

[melack01]

No falling! It takes a bit getting used to how it steers. Now we just need one for my husband so we can start riding on the bike paths here in Ohio.

melack01, That is awesome! I have a three wheeled trike that I love! Happy trails!

Oh, wow! That is neat, melack01 . But is it as low to the ground as it appears to be? I'd have a hard time getting down onto the seat and then back up again. But once I was on it, it would be a blast riding around!

[melack01 in reply to WAshingtongirl]

Lowering myself in it is slow but getting off is no problem.

[WAshingtongirl in reply to melack01]

I want to hear all about your first ride!!! 🚴

I'd live to see video footage of you in action! It looks very svelt and chic!

No falling. That takes all the fun out. Haha. Congrats on your new toy.

That is such a cook bike, with its reclining back. Wonder if MSSA would donate me one!

Congrats! That's what I'm hoping for some day. And you're smart, you got fenders. Because even if you're only biking on nice days, there's always a puddle somewhere.

I gave up any hope of getting back on our cheap off road type 10 speeds from many years ago, because of balance these days, but I really want to get back into biking. We walk only now. I can walk pretty quick and long with a cane. (I'm talking miles not feet, though years back I could only do yards at best.) My shoulder gives out now caning it before anything else.

There are great bike / walking paths everywhere. Enjoy! Someday I hope to join the tryking crowd. And if you're in the midwest I may run into you!

The one we got was just luck. We found one at a good price on Craigslist. It didn't even look like it had been used.

[MarkUpnorth in reply to melack01]

Used does not matter. My used are just as good as my new. I've adjusted to the new budget quickly,...after 30 years of running businesses, I do the budget. Do love Craigslist. Enjoy the tryke! It takes a bit longer these days to make things happen. But they always so, somehow, if you never stop working on it.

Don't forget the water!

Looks like a lot of fun! Enjoy that thing! You can't fall! Just don't run into anyone! 😂

Love you all!

Thanks, still getting used to the steering, so the paths aren't safe for everybody else yet.

WOW!!! Lived in the Cuyahoga National Park and know their bile path... I was really nice on weekday morning when there were far fewer users... ENJOY!!!

Ohio--Peninsula between Cleveland & Akron...

We're in Xenia Ohio and there are bike paths here going everywhere. Will start slow first.
