Only 488kb for images? Really?

Have no idea what you are on about, linking to a Google sign in page means nothing to me.

I've only taken it on flat trails so far. I get a pretty good sweat going if I push it but it's also very comfortable to ride at a slow pace. I did do some road cycling a few years back, but the seat would numb me up in the groin area. I finally had to give that up. I've always enjoyed bike riding though and I'm glad for this alternative. The thing was a bit pricey though.

I use OneDrive. I believe it's basically the same as GoogleDrive. Perhaps you're just not sharing right. All I need do is to go to my OneDrive folder, Right-Click on the file & select "Share a OneDrive link". The link & share permissions are then sent to the clipboard, ready for pasting, such as:

That looks nice, Ahso. Are you going to try some downhill running, or is it for getting about in comfort? I'm quite a fan of low/zero pollution transport, and "gravity racing", not to mention "dare-devil" extreme sport!

Why ?

Perhaps I have one.......never thought of that did you ?

I see a tricycle.......but it was such hard work getting to this point, you should learn to link to photographs, it is a lot easier than relying on everybody else having a compatible Email account. (I doubt very much if that is a criteria though to be honest)

Nice trike.

Nice trike.You consider that hard work? Hang out with me for a couple of days, I'll work you hard.

Yes, I think it's a nice trike too, though I wanted yellow.

HERE you are.

Sorted.

Do you feel safe riding in this?

I have a few in our community - our roads are paved - extra wide roads and I'm nervous when I'm driving & that trike is in the road. It sits so low that at times the trike sneaks up on you.

Your so called paved dirt road looked a little rough - just saying - this trike is for a smoother more comfortable ride.

Are you able to drive your trike on city streets?

P.S. I couldn't bring the image up either - so thanks for the pic & I like Red.

This Trike is a investment so I hope you get to use it frequently.

Enjoy

Looks like an interesting ride.

What kind of gearing does it have?

Ahso! · Post by **Ahso!** » Tue Jul 07, 2015 3:17 pm

nine speed

Way cool but I don't know that I could handle the steering. Is it simpler than it looks?

Very easy to steer. The two handles sticking up next to the seat are the handle bars. My right hand numbs up often and I need to change its position and what's nice about this is that I can let it hang down and rest it on the bar below and even steer that way. I can also rest both arms on the rear wheel fenders as I ride.

Pushing three wheels along is more work of course (more friction) and the fact that all the weight is spread out over those rear wheels the effort is increased in order to ride. I'm often up and down steps many many times daily in my work so my legs are fairly strong, but riding any bike uses different muscles so riding has been a bit of a slog for me thus far and I'm quite tired from it, though that'll all pass in due time. I've been doing ten and a half miles (almost 17 kilometers) on each ride. Not bad for an old guy just getting back into riding.

PatsyMy kids are concerned for me, they don't want me to ride this on any road with traffic. I'm reluctant to do that anyway. The bike rides so smoothly on pavement that I'd rather do that but the gravel isn't too bad, the path is for bike riding and walking.

Yes, it was pricey ($4,000.00 all total) so that in itself is motivation to not allow the thing to dust-up on me (I've got more than enough exercise equipment doing that). 4k is a lot for a bicycle but for me it's worth it because I was getting into a cycle of working - eating - sleeping and I needed an outlet with outdoor physical activity to break that cycle. I'm very much enjoying this so far.

I don't really see the point of these or the recumbant bikes either. Strike me as being pretty dangerous anywhere near traffic althiough I am told recumbants are faster and easier to pedal. On a bike you can at least throw yourself out the way what chance would yln have in one of these plus they're less likely to see you in the first place. That's just me though
