The Perks Of An Adult Tricycle

By Nancy Scott


Getting fit while having fun is a summer tradition. The cold weather is gone, the sun is out and the rain has faded. This combination almost requires outside activities. It is something most people look forward to for months. For those that are not in the best of shape, the thought of exercising might bring up some anxiety or cause hesitation. By riding an adult tricycle, you can get out and enjoy the weather without worry about turning exercise into a job or something that you won't enjoy.

Getting fit is much easier in the summer. Since the weather is nice and the rain is gone, along with snow and colder days, there is no excuse for staying indoors hibernating anymore. Getting out to play sports, having a bar-b-que, or tossing a Frisbee are all part of this fun. Going for rides is something that you can do individually or in a group.

Many people give up exercise because it isn't much fun. In fact, that's the number one reason that most people stop trying to get in shape. It's just too hard. To make it worthwhile, you need to enjoy what you're doing and it needs to be easy enough that you don't dread or fear doing it. Riding on bikes or trikes will help you get fit while having fun and eliminating any dread about exercising that you may have.

Intimidation stops people in their tracks. Being afraid of riding a bike stops many adults from trying it as a fun exercise. They're afraid they'll forget how to do it, or that they'll be humiliated by falling over in front of friends. Riding a trike eliminates these fears and makes it much easier to have the same kind of fun. With three wheels, you are stable and won't fall over. You can even keep your feet on the pedals when you come to a stop, making it much easier to coordinate than a two-wheel bike.

Being comfortable helps going longer distances. When you are not a speed racer that competes on the bike, you will want to be comfortable while you ride. Speed bikes are made so the rider is as close to the frame as possible. This lets them go faster. The trike is designed for the non-competitive rider in mind. You sit upright or back in the seat and can look around instead of hunching over the front of the vehicle.

There are a couple of types of trikes. One is the upright trike. There are two wheels in the back and the seat is high and similar to most regular bikes. Your posture will be fully upright. The recumbent style sits lower to the ground and employs a bucket style seat. For this style, you sit back with your feet extended in front of you as you pedal and guide the bike. These are great for much longer rides because of their comfort level.

Going on a group tour is a lot of fun. If you don't have friends or family that ride, or even if you do, joining a group tour is a great way to go for a ride and see things you would otherwise miss. Rather than just riding around your neighborhood, a tour takes you down a road or path with scenic views in a group that signed up just for that.

You need to enjoy your exercise in order to stick with it. Most do not have the discipline to stick with a routine if it is not fun and enjoyable. Going for a ride gives you great cardio style workouts while having fun and seeing the world around you.
