TerraTrikes fit

Does your rover have a quick disconnect type skewer on the front (or rear) wheels?

Never mind...just looked at the pic again and no...no real reason for one (other than easy wheel removal so it would easily fit in a VX )

No quick releases for any of the wheels. TerraTrikes advertises how easy the Rover is to break down to fit in a conventional car trunk. However, the TerraTrike video of a Rover being disassembled didn't look too easy to do to me. Originally, I planned to partially disassemble the trike to fit in the VX, which is what I was considering in the garage, yesterday.

Those trikes look like a lot of fun. I've always wanted one of the racier Catrikes: http://www.catrike.com/catrike_700.html Mmmmm....sexy.

We've been having triple digit temps and high humidity for several days. Not ideal bike riding weather. Though, the day of delivery I took the trike out for 7-mile ride at sunset. I intended to just go down the street and back, but couldn't stop. That trike is great fun to ride and comfortable.

Yah! Now I feel like one of the kool kids instead of the poor geek on a trike! And thanks Bill for the suggestion how to carry it in the VX, we've never tried that!

Did I mention it's hilarious to watch me try to ride a 2 wheeler?.....with my balance problems, I just fall over to one side....last time it happened we still lived in Dallas and I fell over (luckily) onto the grassy strip between the street and the sidewalk....phew, nothing broken...last time I rode a 2 wheeler though

Solution?......add a 3rd wheel..

Now here's a news flash.....and it will come as a complete surprise...I got wider, nobby tires on the back, and just nobbier on the front.....!

The last time I "fell over" was 3 years ago...


...I was going about 30+ mph when a car pulled out in front of me! Swerve, brake, a pothole' gravity...and over the bars I go! They didn't stop! Not fun riding 10 miles home with broken ribs, road rash and your azz hanging out of your torn bike shorts!
My helmet did it's job though!

Terrible experience, my healing ribs prompted me to buy a recumbent trike. Riding a conventional 2-wheeler aggravated my broken ribs. Triking in a seated position did not strain my rib cage.
