Recumbent Tricycle For Adults, Tips For New Riders

By Jeffrey Barnes


If you are thinking about buying a tricycle for transportation purposes, why not consider a recumbent tricycle. What many do not realize is that recumbent tricycle for adults has been around for many years. In fact, this mode of transportation during 1892 was manufactured and made for the public. But in 1938, this was banned due to its unsportsman advantage.

One, trike fit. A trike that properly fits you are essential. Trikes that does not properly fit can end you up with issues like knee pains. It is important to have the correct boom length to have the proper leg extension. Local bike shops can help in getting you the perfect fit. After getting the correct adjustment, test it by going for a short ride, then reevaluate the fit again.

Its difference from ordinary bikes. The big difference of this compared to ordinary bikes is the way you ride them. With this, you will have to sit in a reclined position and the pedals are in front instead of underneath. This results to your actual riding style changing, not the same riding style that you are used to.

The reason for this change is more on aesthetics. Do not worry because getting used to that style is going to be easy. These bikes look like furniture. Expect people to look at you whenever you passed by them since you would look cumbersome on it. Despite its growing popularity, this is a bit rare on the road.

The great thing about this tricycle is that it is far faster than the other road bikes. Best of all, its very comfortable to ride on. You will experience sheer enjoyment with this. Riders even created the term recumbent grin, in reference to the amazing feeling you will experience from this. Riders describe this as having the same feeling of pilots.

Breaks the rules. These are perfect for all the rebels out there. Modern bike designs has not really changed over the years. Think about it, the mountain bike was the last great thing that the biking world has invented. Today, such is a result of a bike that is designed from scratch. The idea of this being made in a shape of diamond is lost.

Fast. The speed you can achieve is determined by your level of fitness. For ordinary individuals, you will find yourself going faster than your average speed on ordinary bikes. Few people only realize that this has broken the speed record of powered machines. It is not recorder though as no international cycling organization will recognize a record done by a nontraditional bike.

Six, sun protection. Compared to upright bikes, you are going to be exposed in the sun more with this. Make sure you use some sun protection like sunblock and clothing with sun protection. You do not want to get sunburn after riding for a few hours. So, make sure you keep on applying some sunblock.

Comfortable. One of the main reason why many people are thinking about buying such is the comfort it provides. Comfortable because all your weight is on the seat, there is no pressure on both your arms and wrists, a good thing because this will give you lesser chance of having stress related injuries.
