Gary Rose: Recumbent, tadpole design, trikes have advantages Recumbent cycles started in the Little Cake area of Adair County with the advent of Gerald Holt's Catrike 700 Recumbent trike; then two others purchased similar, tadpole designed people powered vehicles. Now, with Gary and Diane Rose's two ICE Adventure line trikes, recumbents have become almost commonplace in Adair County. Gary and Diane were making swift passage on Sano Road on the ICE machines the accompanying photo(s) were taken and he was warned that Adair Countians might not take kindly to people pedalling their sofas down the highway - but really they do. The low-riding trikes with their colorful pennants make the countryside just that much brighter. He sent the following article. - EW By Gary Rose Founder of BicyclingAdair.org Riding your sofa down the road may not be legal but riding your recliner is. LOL :-) The recumbent trike I was riding today is from the ICE Adventure line. It is a tadpole design, 2 wheels up front 1 in the rear. There also is a delta design with 1 wheel in the front and 2 in the rear. Riding it is very comfortable and enjoyable. It is almost like riding in your recliner. The trike is not as fast as my standard bike, part of that is because of the smaller drive wheel, but does not mean that I can't move down the road. Some of the tadpole manufactures use 20 inch, 26 inch or the 700 C wheel (found on many 2 wheel bikes) for the drive wheels, depending on what they are designing the trike for. The ICE Adventure series is more of a slower touring trike. As I had said while we where talking, the muscle groups used are slightly different then the groups use while riding an upright bike. As far as I know there are only 3 other recumbents in the county and they are all tadpole trikes. One advantage the trikes have over standard bikes is that handicapped people can ride them. I have seen stroke victims riding trikes I know a woman from Illinois, who loves to ride, but due to some health issues could no longer ride an upright, but she is out on her trike. - Gary Rose This story was posted on 2013-11-08 19:26:25
