Having Fun On A Trike Bike

By David Reed


Getting exercise is a great way to lose weight and get fit. There are many benefits to jumping on a bike and taking a ride. Your knees won't have to endure the stress of running or jogging. Other forms of exercise like working out in a gym are typically for building muscle and the cardio workouts are not as fun. Riding a trike bike is a great way to go for a ride without worrying about falling off if you're not used to the coordination a two-wheeled bike requires.

Getting outside in the good spring and summer weather is a great way to get fit. Going to the gym avoids the good weather and puts you in direct competition with people that are already in great shape. Those with knee problems are cautioned to avoid running and jogging to avoid additional damage. However, riding a bike or trike will give you the same benefits of going running without the stress it causes on the knees.

Dread is the number one reason people give up on gym memberships. They simply get tired of the work part of the workout. Running on a treadmill isn't as fun as being out with a pet or friends and family. Since so many people already have bikes, getting one that fits your needs will make it easier to join them in a group outing. Having fun will take your thoughts off the actual work you're doing.

Tricycles are much more stable than bicycles. Though we remember the excitement of getting the training wheels taken off our first bike, as an adult this poses a problem. Being humiliated by falling over or not being able to stop or start correctly is a big factor in why many adults won't get a bike. Having a three-wheeled vehicle eliminates all of these fears.

Trikes are more comfortable. The speed bikes that many riders get are literally built for speed. They are designed for the rider to be hunched over as close to the frame of the bike as possible. For someone who is not in shape, this is not a very comfortable position. Trikes allow you to sit more upright and enjoy the ride. You can look around, not worry about your speed, and not hurt your back by being hunched over.

Commuting is a great way to exercise on the way to work. Many people like to ride their bike to work in the spring, summer, and fall when the weather is good. This is great, but for those that aren't comfortable with it, using a tricycle is actually safer. You have a bigger vehicle which means you are more visible in traffic, plus you can see what is going on around you.

Tours are available for group fun. Since many of your friends probably already have bikes and tricycles, you can go on group tours. Some may be organized by tour operators at well known natural wonders, others you can organize on your own. Take them camping and make your own group as you head off to see the views that are offered.

You have to have fun if you want to keep up with the exercise. There are some really disciplined people that can charge into the workout without dread. Most are not that way. Making exercise fun is a great way to make it so you look forward to it.
