The long wait is over. The snow is gone and the roads are in good shape. I finally got my first ride on our new trike today after work. It was a very interesting experience the first time out. First stop light I pull up to and it is red. I come to a stop and my feet hit the ground. Buddy behind said to me over cb I thought you didn't need to put your feet down at stop lights! Force of habit I guess.
Not only do I have to get comfortable with "steering" the trike, I also was aware of the side to side motion when you are on uneven pavement because of having two wheels behind you. Also, just because you miss a pothole with the front wheel doesn't mean you miss it with the back wheels. After riding 55 miles this afternoon, I know that it will get better with more riding.
Thursday after work, wife will get to go on her first trike ride.
I know this, the trike is a keeper!:yes::yes::yes:
