How Can I Ride a Bike if My Balance is Messed Up?

When people hear the word tricycle, they often conjure images of a child’s bike designed to help a kid learn how to ride for the first time. These learning tools ultimately lead to a child graduating or moving to a two-wheeled, traditional bicycle. These are not the only types of tricycles, and in fact, adult tricycles are an excellent, affordable, and safe way for many individuals to keep riding when they thought they were not able to. Those that can get onto a traditional two-wheel bike and ride comfortably without panic, anxiety, or trouble often take it for granted that this is not an experience shared by most people. There are many reasons why a person feels the need to retire their bicycle from mental to physical issues. Adult tricycles fill this gap and allow many people to exercise with a smile on their faces.Cargo Bike

Adult tricycles are easier to mount because they are lower to the ground. The third wheel means that everyone sits down on the tricycle without worrying about balancing. It is all too common to see somebody get onto a bike and immediately fall off because of issues with balancing. This is not the case with an adult tricycle. Speaking of balancing, these rides require almost no consideration or work to balance while in motion. The only time a person needs to consider balancing is when taking a turn at high speeds. This issue is easily rectified by slowing down as a prop as you approach the turn.

Finding balance is essential for those who ride urban environments to remain safe. There is a constant stop and start motion when riding between traffic stop signs and traffic signals. One of the hardest things to do while on a bicycle is to remain upright while standing still. On an adult tricycle or cargo bike, this is not a problem.

If the balance is an issue for you, for whatever reason at all, you can still ride a bike, except yours will have three wheels. These rides are affordable, fun to ride, and, most of all, safe. Don’t let balance stand in the way of you experiencing the open road.
