Trike rider in Massachusetts

Subject: Trike rider in Massachusetts Mon May 11, 2009 4:40 pm

Hello,
I am a new trike rider and owner...I purchased a used Sun EZ-3 delta trike!!!
I suffer from MAV...migraine associated vertigo...and no longer can drive a car....so I needed some freedom and transportation. I cannot balance on a regular bike...thus a friend that has a trike introduced me to these wonderful human powered vehicles. We took a trip down to a paved bike path and I was amazed that I can ride a decent distance and not fall off or get too dizzy...if I do get dizzy, I have 3 wheels of stability....so I can just hit the brakes and stop and relax...

Enough about me...I am so excited to find this forum and find others so enthused about trike riding....this is wonderful!
I am looking forward to hearing about other members!!!

Thanks for this great forum!

Welcome to insanity, where us old "geezers" do not shed any mercy on anyone.

Yes, welcome. Just be on the lookout; sometimes the cat gets a little unruly. Smile

What ARE you saying? scratch

You'll lead poor masstrike down the path of believing the poor old kitty is some kinda rabble-rouser!

(Pay no attention to that fugitive from the Simpsons with the square eyeglasses and white goatee, masstrike.)

It is the music that the cat is in-tune with.... at least is seems to be 4---4 time.

True! But it still doesn't stop me from committing an occasional faux pas.

Jim, Ignore these guys, they're jealous because they don't have a trike between them.

A question: If I have a bike which has two wheels and I add a tag-a-long trailer which has one wheel, does that qualify me to be having an in-line trike? scratch
