How To Ride A Recumbent Tricycle

By Diane Snyder


Recumbent bikes are unique bikes that makes a person ride it while sitting in inclined position. Even though many people have lost interest in its design, some are still using it due to its comfortability. If you consider to buy one, make sure to assess the different aspects that will transpire. Take the time to do research in order to find the right recumbent tricycle that is perfect to your needs and budget.

Before getting a tricycle, assess your riding abilities first. People that enjoys commuting, touring or racing must ensure that the vehicle will be accommodating through the different diversities of bike designs. In addition to it, physically challenged people must consider first their physical requirements before buying one.

Put the bicycle in low or medium gears. If the gears are hub, it can be change while standing still or coasting. Simply release the pressure on the pedal before moving the shifters. With the derailleur gear, riders will remove themselves and change the gear while turning the pedals. This will be better if there is someone to assist for this step since riders will lift the drive wheel upwards or wheel the bikes.

Make sure to follow the step by step procedure when mounting yourself in the bike. Mount on it and sit while the hands holding on the handlebars and both the feet still on the ground. For under seat steering bicycles, place the legs to the front of a seat and to the right and left respectively at the main boom.

Adjust the seats according to your height. The de signs will vary but other models will have the seats sliding from the back towards the front along bars. Adjust the tilts in the chair and the handlebars. Consider this adjustment to be a long term one. The feet must be able to reach the ground as well as the pedals without any hassle.

Practice without any wobbling. Ride a few laps up and down the streets to get the feel on its balance. Do not rush. Go very slow to avoid wobbling and have a hard time balancing it. Slowly get to another pace after riding for a while. The balances are different with other types but the basics are all the same.

Every recumbent cycle has a specific terrain type where they can be ridden. Just buying one design may not be a good choice especially when traveling on different terrains such as dirt, gravel and asphalt. For those that trek around mountainside should also purchase a mountain bicycle.

Researching is crucial when determining the right type of bike. With many available options in the market, it is very hard to find the right one according to your preferences. Research the different stores that sells a particular model that you wanted. This will narrow down the list and find the right one according to the budget.

Budgeting is important when purchasing. The prices will differ depending on the make and model of a bike. Individuals must assess their abilities and see which one suits to their budget. Visit around different stores to compare the prices they offer for their tricycles.
