Trycycletrixi

I have observed similar behaviour in that area. It's especially hairy when because of the many turnoffs on that road and the number of trucks driving badly. btw, I am new to all of this, doubt me and my trike will be anywhere near busy roads though. I will be sticking to the Zevenwacht cycle lane! Btw, I take up more space on my tricycle, so am generally over cautious when a car passes. Which reminds me, I have seen cyclists in the middle of the road when a cycle lane is available to them? Is it too uncool to be seen on a safe route? *rolls eyes*

Yes, I bought an adult tricycle. Please don't laugh too much ;-) I am a novice rider/trike owner, nervous, unfit and overweight, but determined. And except for the mods, I mostly have a mountain bike with a third wheel, limited to a front brake. My darling hubby is a longboarder (the downhill kind) and knows nothing about my new chosen, ahem, sport. (I am still terrified of my trike so there's nothing sporting about it yet!) So I found a seat wide enough for my ample derrier. But, I had no idea my hands would be bearing so much of my weight! I need advice on finding more comfortable handle bars and also tips on how to adjust the trike to my short legs and heftier load. Basically, I need more comfort to ease me into this new world of, well, 3 wheels. Any advice on how to learn when to change gears for a goofy ungainly and petrified beginner would be most welcome.
