So it begins...







Well, I'm just a guy who is simply enjoying himself with the purchase of an odd looking, three-wheeled cambering vehicle called a trikke. For those who haven't heard of a trikke(pronounced trike) before, it's basically a tricycle that you stand on that requires no pedaling because you create forward momentum by rocking back and forth on it. I just bought it today and didn't stop test riding until a few hours ago. I think I spent a total of three hours on the thing learning to get a feel for it. My situation is especially unique because I was born with polio which has prevented me from being able to ride any vehicle requiring pedaling . One of my legs is shorter than the other and the leg that is of normal length, I can't bend. Riding the trikke seems to compensate for this handicap because I don't have to use my legs as much(I just stand there) and I use my arms mostly to generate the power to move the trikke. I believed I'm hooked for life riding this vehicle. If only they were selling one today at the store in yellow.
