About Red Trike
I am une femme d’un certain âge and not interested in spending that âge fainting on the divan. I thought I’d never cycle again, but that was before I discovered my first bright red, six-speed, lightweight trike. In the beginning, I thought I’d just use it for errands, but that got boring. Now I’m exploring a much broader geographic area, and tracking my travels online.
Update, July 2021: After a long hiatus, Road Trike is returning as Red Trike. Raffaello is my pedalac, 5-speed, compact folding, Di Blasi trike, and my current tricycling companion, as of February 2020.
Previous Update, 25 July 2012: I thought I was going to die when I took my first three-to-six-mile rides on Pegasus a year ago. I came home sick to my stomach and shaky after every one of those first, short rides.
How things have changed! Now I regularly ride 20 and 30 miles at a time. This month I did my first 50-mile ride. (Yes, on my trike!)
Riding Pegasus has made me so much fitter, stronger, and healthier in all ways that I’m now experimenting with riding a bicycle on local trails. Who knows what’s next? I can’t wait to find out.
My (former) cycles:
Pegasus was my 6-speed, pedal-assist tricycle; riding Pegasus has made me strong and fit enough to ride. Pegasus found a new home at the beach, with new riders.
Arianna, is my one-speed, 44-year-old (as of 2012) vintage folding bicycle.
