TerraTrikes fit

[VX KAT]

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.

Sue, do you really have to worry about traffic on the 1 paved road in that big city you call home?

I remember you posting about that fall, man that sounded terrible!

OMG Sue, I want one of those bikes! Looking at bikes now and that looks perfect!

They're really really comfortable....I was surprised just how easy and comfy the recumbent position is. I didn't like the grips down low, next to your legs, so I chose the more conventional handle bar set-up.

it's the ATVs, sidexsides and pickem-up trucks I gotta worry about 'round here!
