Trike Riding


This weekend I met Tina in the little town of Bentley, Alberta to shop at one of Western Canada's best recumbent bike stores. Bentley Cycle and Trading Post has an amazing selection, especially in a town of 1000. For the first time in my life I got to ride a couple of recumbent tadpole trikes. I fell in love. Here is a pic of the one I liked the most: the TerraTrike Zoomer. Compact, light (30 lbs) and narrow enough to fit through a doorway without tipping. I must say it is a fun ride. Completely stable, very comfortable, combining the coolness of propelling yourself with the ride and handling of a go-cart. Really a shame they are $2200. Sigh.
