 Trikke Tampa Club Ride - This weeks ride is going to be on the Upper Tampa Bay Trail at the Wilsky Blvd Trailhead. Most of the trail is shaded and there is a long section that has a canopy of trees over the trail. It's almost like a tunnel. Click on the yellow "View Map" button in the upper left for directions. As far as a group ride we won't ride a long distance. Only a couple of miles up and then back. Others that are feeling energetic are encouraged to try and ride further and maybe the whole length of the trail.
TRIKKE Maintenance, LUBRICATION - Has your Trikke developed a squeak near the cambering system? Here are a couple pictures of the lubrication points on the cambering system. It's recommended to use a 3-in-1 household oil for general lubrication. Periodically you may want to use a heavier oil or lightweight grease on the folding mechanism axle.
WARNING: You may lubricate the spring section of the folding mechanism but DO NOT lubricate the tapered part of the locking pin that goes into the hole of the extension arm. DO keep the tapered pin and hole clean of dirt, sand and debris. Any foreign matter in the hole or on the pin can cause the system to be difficult to release when folding and unfolding your Trikke.
Click on the images to the left to enlarge and see the details of the lubrication points. You can also check out this maintenance tip as well as others at the following link: http://trikketampa.com/web_template/maint.html

Trikke Clubs around the country and Canada - There are a few Trikke owners around the country and Canada that are trying to form clubs or points of contact for doing group rides. So, I'm going to do my best to help. Below is a list of states and contact information. I will get this on my website very soon but you can also go to TrikkeTalk.com where they have forums for each state. Everyday there are numerous posts about Trikke topics such as testimonials, Trikke issues and much more. The kickbiking group has riders from all across the USA and Canada. If anyone else is interested in being a POC for rides in your area please send me an email at andy@.... Feel free to use any of the club images below on your blog site or personal homepage.
Hydration - Always remember to carry water with you on ANY Trikke ride you do. Even when you're not thirsty your body is consuming water. Even though you don't think you're sweating you probably are. If it's windy or just the wind blowing by from riding your sweat will evaporate before it accumulates on your skin or clothes. Mainly in the dryer climates. Water, water and more water! Water will also help to avoid cramps in your muscles that evening or the next day. Also remember to drink products like Gatorade to replenish the electrolytes. Another thing about water is it's one of the best weight loss products there is. Drink at least a gallon a day and your body will start flushing out stored amounts of water that it thinks it needs in reserve.
Note: If you're using a CamelBak or similar hydration system with a bladder and you're putting anything other than water into it then be sure to thoroughly clean it after use. The sugars and such can cause bacteria growth if not cleaned properly. Also keep the tube and mouth piece clean.
Air-Air-Air - AIR YOUR TIRES DURING ASSEMBLY OF YOUR NEW TRIKKE. The tires may feel like they have pressure out of the box but they're ONLY half inflated. Please, do not stand on your Trikke with pneumatic wheels until properly inflated. Don't forget to very regularly check the air pressure in your pneumatic tires. A loss of 10 to 20psi can make a huge difference in your ride and speed. A big question came up about the T12 having "40psi" labeled on the tire. Disregard that label. Trikke Tech specs are 80psi in the rear tires. Both the T12 and the T8C-Air require at least 80psi in the rear wheels and 75 to 80psi in the front. You should check your air pressure at least once a week. For new owners of a T12 or T8C-Air:

2006 Trikke Infomercial - Trikke Tech is seeing a tremendous response. The infomercial only sales the T8v.2 and the T6v.1 but it's sparked a Trikke interest for people to do their research and find out about the T12 and T8C-Air. Sales are what help Trikke Tampa and other clubs to continuously be able to host club rides, events and support that you expect. So please, refer your friends and curious people to TRIKKE Tampa or an affiliate so we can continue to provide you the service and support that you expect.
