Default Oooooo! Lookit what I ordered!



We are planning a cross-country road trip this summer, and we’ll cycle the “Rails to Trails” bike paths all across the country. I think I can manage to ride for an hour or so every few days. Hubby and I used to cycle years ago, so it’ll be nice to get back to it. My trike will have a small electric motor feature, which they call “motor assisted pedaling.” I’m hoping that it will actually be as much fun as it sounds.

can you share what store you got it from? What options come with it? i got a trike a year ago, and while I love it, it is hard to peddle up hills. wish I had the motor. I have hiked those rails to trails for years. what a wonderful program.

Have fun with your new toy, Marion! It looks snazzy! Hope you'll take plenty of pictures while you're out.

Dejibo, here is their website: http://www.worksman.com/

Hubby and I drove down to NYC to check the trike out. The folks there are really friendly, and they let me ride one to be sure I’d be comfy.
