Got Triker's Grin?

Have you got triker's grin? We do!

Here we are at the beach in Lincoln City, Oregon on twin WizWheelz TerraTrike Tours. Since then we've
tried a bunch of different trikes - easy to do when you own a recumbents-only bike shop (see Recumbent Cycles of Utah at www.rcutah.com) - but right now we're riding Greenspeed trikes. Tammy rides a GT-3. Russ rides an X-5 tricked out with a Schlumpf High Speed Drive.

Last August we took part in the ULCER (Utah Lake Century Epic Ride). It was the longest Tammy had ever ridden since completing her cancer treatments. We did the 34 mile route, and had a wonderful time. For that ride, Tammy was on her WizWheelz TerraTrike Tour and Russ was riding his Catrike Expedition. We're looking forward to doing more long-distance organized rides this
year.

At the mid-summer Bent Bike Boogie Tammy had a close encounter with a bird. When we stopped at Vivian Park, a very precocious bird hopped right up to Tammy while she was sitting on her trike. The bird first jumped onto the right front wheel of Tammy's trike. But before too long, the bird hopped right on Tammy's leg. Look closely, and you'll see it.


If you haven't tried a tadpole trike, you should. But be warned, you'll probably end up getting triker's grin.
