You can do this!
Feel like it is too late for you to ride? We had not cycled for 45 years. Not once since High School. And yet with our new home being built in a large subdivision which The North Bank Trail bisects, we thought… “lets do this!” Visions of short rides east to Nunica for lunch, or longer rides to Lake Michigan beaches danced thru our minds. All without ever needing to ride with automobile traffic.
When my wife had double hip replacement, her doctor advised no upright biking for her. But recumbents were fine… and encouraged. And I’m a big guy, worse with Covid. So looking to ride for fun, exercise, and weight loss. My research narrowed in on the TerraTrike Rambler.
Calling around, we were fortunate (very fortunate!), to find two Rambler’s just delivered to West Michigan Bike & Fitness in Granville, Michigan. They set us up with an excellent after hours fitting, test rides and customization. Our Ramblers were then delivered to Unica last Friday.
We are now at Day 8 of cycling. First evening, we got our TerraTrikes off the truck, took a test ride, and promptly got rained on. Day 2 thru 6 we rode for 30 minutes each day. On the seventh day, we rested… plus it was cold and windy. So seemed like a very good day to let little used muscles recover.
Today we were back at it again!
Loving the trikes! More on this adventure later.
