Who Should Ride an Adult Tricycle?

Riding a bike is one of the best ways to get outdoors and be active. There are few experiences as wonderful as the freeing feeling of riding a bike and feeling the breeze. Unfortunately, not everyone can ride a traditional two-wheeled bike. What do people like this do to feel the freedom of the open road? Adults that can’t or do not want to ride two-wheeled bikes, for whatever reason, should consider getting a three-wheeled bike or an adult tricycle. When people hear the word tricycle, they think of a children’s toy, but that is not true. Yes, the two share a third wheel, but other than those similarities, they differ. Adult trikes have all the modern and needed technology to make riding for an adult comfortable. An adult trike has front/back brakes, gears, and comfortable seats.

Who should consider an adult tricycle?

1. Not everyone has great balance, whether it is an illness, degenerative, or just natural clumsiness. A two-wheeled bike requires high levels of balancing, and especially when traveling slowly through city streets. A tricycle can be at a complete stop and remain balanced. Because of the third wheel, riders need to slow down while making sharp turns
2. Not everyone can get on a traditional bike because they are tall and have a high crossbar. Adult tricycles are lower to the ground, so they are much easier and comfortable to get on and off the trike. Getting on and off these bikes is as easy as can be.
3. Not everyone wants to go fast, so an adult tricycle is a great alternative for casual riding. These bikes, because of the extra balance, also are great for running errands. Adult tricycles can hold more gear than a traditional bike without changing how the bike rides.
