Today’s tale is one of rockets, Trikke hill climbs, and spontaneity. As I checked two items off my bucket list this weekend, it was a spirited reminder that life is about more than to-do lists. Susan riding Rokk-it Red My Friday commute home is never fun, but I got out a little early and for
Lehigh Valley Trikke and Trikke Riders of Pennsylvania have been partnering to host regional LSM (Last Saturday of the Month) rides this year. Because a number of regulars could not attend July’s LSM, we’ve put together a second ride this month in hopes that everyone can join us. The first ride on 7/20/13 will be to
It was with great anticipation, yet some hesitation, that I scheduled a March LSM ride for the Trikke Riders of Pennsylvania. I say “great anticipation” because the winter has been long and hard, and I have been aching to go Trikking with friends again. But I also say “some hesitation”, because the aforementioned winter has
Support Trikkers around the world by participating in the first Last Saturday of the Month (LSM) ride for the 2013 season. I have set up a ride at 10:00 am on March 30 at Rodale Fitness Park in Trexlertown, PA. This ride is being held in conjunction with the Trikke Riders of Pennsylvania: http://www.meetup.com/TrikkePA/events/108554252/ The
Ah . . . the freedom of the open road!! Today it saved me from the constraints of our seasonal woes. If the Lehigh Valley’s trails were getting clogged with the fallen leaves and twigs a few weeks ago, I’d venture a guess that they are totally non-Trikkeable now in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.
With the return of beautiful fall weather today, Rokk-It Red was clamoring to get outside to explore more of the Lehigh Valley trails. She had never been to Rodale Fitness Parkbefore, so I loaded her into the car and drove her to one of my favorite places. I’ve gotten good at climbing the small hills
I’m going to borrow an auto-racing term for today’s article about riding safely during the autumn months. In racing, a “debris caution” is a yellow flag thrown not for an all-out wreck, but to slow drivers down when small pieces of debris/car parts are spotted on the track that could cause a car to lose
Today was finally the day I got to take my beautiful new T8 out on the trails of the Lehigh Valley. For the sake of obtaining the closest possible comparison to my old T78, I decided to repeat my most recent ride on the paved Easton section of the D&L trail. This 10-mile round trip
I was still craving more Trikke action after my exploration of Cedar Beach Park last Monday, so instead of doing more laps there, I headed to Bob Rodale Cycling and Fitness Park in Trexlertown. I had biked here a few months ago, and it has been on my radar since then as a good riding
I set out last Monday morning to explore Trexler Memorial Park, but was greeted by a sign in the parking lot that declared that no bicycles were allowed in the park on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. Although the Trikke is hard to classify, I took that as a clear indication that I wouldn’t be
