Why You Should Try A Recumbent Trike 

Yes! we were talking about that on the ride I did last week, another amazing experience where I couldn't keep the grin off my face! 😁 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VC08UdEBp9s.html

@@CyclewithSerafina Aye, I saw that one.

@@nigelnightmare4160 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

So much fun! another option to get out and have a big smile on your face 😁

Awww thank you!! 😍 Trikes are so much fun, I'm surprised more people don't ride them 😃 Thanks for watching! 💓

Oh that's wonderful to hear! thank you for sharing! 😍 let me know when you start the group up, I'll share your link in the description of my Trike videos so others can find you. I've just uploaded another one, sunshine, more smiles, and hand holding! 😁ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VC08UdEBp9s.html

Thanks for the fun Ray! 😁 It reminded me of jumping in a dodgem car as a kid, except it's all over in a few minutes! This was hours of fun 🥳 in your words "riding a trike is like music for the soul" 🎵🎶

I love that! Well said 😁👊

Thanks John! 😍🙏 I love creating this kind of video, experiencing and sharing different ways of life, meeting, and sharing inspiring people and their stories. Reading your comment put a smile on my face as big as riding the trike! 😁 More to come, thanks for watching! 💗

We might need to do a race with you on the e-bike, Ray on the trike, me on Fiji! 😃 Uphill!!! 🥳

I was thinking the same thing, it's can be purely for fun 🥳 Definitely one to add to the collection! 😁 Oh and yes, I have no idea how Noel rides that two wheeler, it was freaky!! Impressive!

N+1 is a must. You wont regret it and they keep their value, so if you decide it's not for you it's easy to sell on.

So much fun to be had! 🥳

Life is always more fun to share with other likeminded people! 😀💗

Hi Ross! I can feel the big smile on your face while reading this comment 😁 love it! I haven't ridden much up that way, keen to check it out as the weather gets warmer 🌞🥳

Hi Ed! You're going to love it 😍 definitely get in touch with Ray and go for a spin! I was nervous for the first 30seconds then there was no stopping the big grin on my face! 😁

Sounds like a recumbent will be perfect for you 😀they are lots of fun! have you looked on FB for a local group??

Thanks John! 😍 Might see you on a 'bent' along the coast in summer! I'm thinking get a bunch of us out there in the warm, triking the coast, make a great video 😁

Yay! Thanks Kim 🙏😍 I love making these videos for you! It was so much fun riding with you and the ☠️ ARR ☠️ crew the other day, now I know why you always have a big smile on your face! 😁💗🥝

Trikes do that to you when riding, put a smile on ya face. :) I can ride 50k if I want, yes with Eassist, no it’s not a gopher, must continue to pedal so this is fun exercise.

Soooo much fun 🥳 I still have a big grin on my face remembering it! 😁

Nothing like a warm cuppa on a cold wintery day! 😍☕ thanks for sending more warm this way, I'll repay the favour in a few months when we're in the middle of a heatwave and you're knee deep in snow! 🥶🌞 just be mindful, if you hire a trike, you'll probably want to buy it! 🤣 Seriously too much fun 🥳

It's interesting isn't it, many people (including me) assume it's going to be more dangerous, but it's actually the opposite, and I think that's one of the biggest misconceptions of riding a recumbent. Perhaps I need to do a video riding on roads, rather than bike paths, to show this 😊

Lots and lots of fun! 😍

Awww thank you! 😍🙏💗

Thanks! 😁 it was so much fun to ride!

Next time we need a drone operator.

Yes!! I've been looking at getting one, imagine the footage 😃

@@oztagSA I'll have to bring mine

You're right, such wonderful people 😍 you can't help but smile while riding... the Bent Grin! 😁

Thanks! 😃💗

Hi Greg! thanks for mentioning that, fun for the whole family. He's also got the 'bus', might need to do another video! 😁

@@CyclewithSerafina We are awaiting your next trike video.

@@gregbonnett9745 yes!! we need to do a summer one along the coast! 😍

Thanks Tim! 😃 addictive fun!! 🥳

It looks like so much fun 😃 I remember seeing it at Vic Park a couple years ago, is that the best place to go??

Unfortunately the dates don’t line up! But will visit Brett in Cootamundra one day soon.

You would love it!! 😆💗🚴‍♀️

Thank you! 😀

🤣 good point about swinging with a helmet!! Safety first! 😆

it's a cumbersome word to say lol! 😅

I love it! 😁 I definitely had the trike grin , and still do every time I think or talk about it! 🥳😁😁😁

Absolutely! 😁

Thanks Bobbie 🙏 I'll check it out 😃

love it!! 😁

Soo much fun! 🥳 and all really good points you've raised. I can see these changes happening here in South Australia, slowly in some cases, but definitely happening. I think the big key is to have more people cycling and adding their voice when it's election time. We're still very car dependent, so the majority of votes (therefore funding) goes to motor vehicle infrastructure. We're on the right track though, social change never happens fast enough unfortunately! 🚴‍♂️🚴💗

@@CyclewithSerafina The fact that social change happens at all is promising! The most important thing can indeed just be political will, or eventually everything in conjunction. Australia is known for some of the most perplexingly malformed urban design, which hampers quality of life, so change really helps everyone -- and debunks common arguments against providing for alternative modes, simply because we fear we may lose something. Luckily, this is part of the change, and urban experts have been finally getting to governments in the last decade or two -- when people actually see the benefits, sentiment changes in favour of whoever did action. Canberra.Bike describes the phenomenon as a "flywheel", along with all the comprehensive aspects of it, with reference to the key success example, the Netherlands (you see so many recumbents, trikes, hand-cycles, cargos, etc. over there, including on rural paths and in cities which offer many benefits which the countryside does as the Bruntletts describe too!). The success includes reducing isolation, aiding freedom (which is why the children are happiest in the world, much happier compared to Australia), and reducing all the banes of car dependency on economic and health factors (as well as congestion, stress, and other woes, which makes it the best country for drivers too! Win-win!) Anyway, that was my spiel... Basically, design good for happiness! :) Perth actually took inspiration from NL, which is why it has a network of red-asphalt PSPs, and is developing a good rail-bike symbiosis. Here in nipaluna the Greater city plan is fabulous, and completely on-board (we the people just have to see it in action..!) I'm not sure what's happening in Adelaide -- is it similar to Melbourne or Sydney, where CBD "Copenhagen-style" are being made, as well as some broader (but as yet not practical or holistic enough, without woonerven or sustainable safety) networks? I think it has a lot of opportunity with its particular urban design as well as geography -- I've recently seen the ARM station and riverfront thing, which looks neat, as well as some pretty landmarks like the library and those two clock-towers, but I haven't actually visited! I really love the confluence of the Eyre, Murray, and Flinders systems, as well as the great motion into the spiritual 'heart' of the continent and the Artesian Basin (just in general). Anyways -- it was just NAIDOC week, and it was nice to see the Aboriginal flag being flown, which fits in much better with the environment (and doesn't show the banner of a younger country who invaded this ancient land once upon a time...) -- wrong tangent to get into, I'm sorry! I just feel like I have to 'input, input, input' without end Bye :)

​@@betula2137 I agree with all of this, we think/feel very much the same. I lived in the Netherlands for a year, their cycling infrastucture, public transport, and social quality of life is some of the best in the world I've seen. I lived a few months in Japan, very similar to the Netherlands, but in Japan, you don't even have to lock your bike up! no one will steal it! We are definitely heading in the right direction, these other countries just have more of a head start than us, Australia is still a relatively young country in regards to population, infrastructure, and economy. We are very lucky to have these other countries to observe and learn from 😃🚴‍♀

Yes, someone else said the same thing, in hindsight I should have changed it once we'd started riding and realised 😃

Me too!! We definitely need to do a video on that, watch this space! 👀😁

@@CyclewithSerafina OK, looking forward for it. Thanks before, Serafina! (*♡∀♡)

Mt lofty easy

Gears like a mountain bike

@@oztagSA or maybe Osmond? or Lynton Belair Urban Trail? 😆

I love this! 😍 thanks for sharing, it's so cool you take your dog with you! 🐶 and it's great you mention you have both an upright and recumbent, we forget we don't have to make a choice, we can have fun on both! 😁

Then a recumbent would be ideal?

@@CyclewithSerafina it might be, especially a trike. Chief trouble is the low seat height, that and getting it up and down the stairs.

Oh yes, too heavy and awkward to carry!

You need to test ride as there are many different options! The seat height is easily overcome.

🤣🤣 love it!!!
