Question

I'm thinking about a 3 wheel bike. Any ideas? I'm a senior citizen and don't want to risk falling.

Answer 1

my mom rode a 3 wheeler b/c she doesn't know how to ride a bike. she liked it b/c she felt safe, but it was hard for her to steer. I tried it too and it was difficult to get it to go where you wanted. it could just be the 3 wheeler we had.

Answer 2

how about a bike with a side car it amounts to the same thing a lot of h***s angels ride trikes and quads about see them all the time

be careful and have fun

Answer 3

Good idea. That would be a great way to get exercise while minimizing the risk of injury.

Answer 4

Go for it..as for style or brand I know nothing about 3 wheelers

Answer 5

There is a large contingent of tricycle enthusiasts among recumbent riders. I would say a delta trike (1F2R) would be easiest to get in and out of, because deltas tend to have higher seating. By contrast, tadpole (2F1R) trikes have seats anywhere from 3 to 9 inches off the ground. Here is what a delta trike looks like:

This model is sold by Sun, and can be ordered from virtually any bike shop in the U.S. via their J&B catalog.
