What special role does the Trikke play in an exercise program? Obviously,
Trikking around the neighborhood can be fun. People feel motivated to do
enjoyable exercise. But there's more to it than that.

For the last several years, strength training for the legs has been the mainstay
of my exercise routine. And up until three years ago, when I felt the need for
some aerobic exercise, I'd simply go out for a walk.

That changed when I had a rheumatoid arthritis attack in my hip. After that,
brisk walking put to much stress on that joint. Ditto for bicycle-riding. So I
ordered a T8 Air, and that turned out to be just what I needed. My Trikke
allowed me to be aerobically active during that difficult time in my life.
Lately I've been in remission, and the hip joint is slowly repairing itself. I
even feel comfortable going on short hikes.

Swimming doesn't put much stress on the knees, and is the best-known low-impact
exercise. But it's not something you want to do if you have an arthritic hip.
For me, the Trikke really stands out as a low-impact aerobic exercise machine.

I wish I knew a flatter spot - I also use the subarbs for riding. Maybe downtown? It's much flatter there.

I know that we have a world-class bicycle path along the American River. But are there good
riding areas closer to home?

Florida TRIKKE Fun Ride

October 1, 2006

7:00am

Withlacoochie Trail

Apopka Avenue Trail Crossing in Inverness

12th Annual

Rails to Trails

Bike Ride on the

Withlacoochie State

Trail

Sunday, October 1, 2006

12th Annual Rails to Trails of the Withlacoochie Bike Ride - We're taking advantage of this Rails to Trails event to have a Florida Trikke Fun Ride. This is a great opportunity for area Trikke riders to participate in a Rails to Trails event. Most importantly, we're (the Trikke community) showing our support for the awesome trails that have been provided for our FREE use year round. Because we're supporting our Rails to Trails programs the Trikke will gain even more respect from the cycling community.

I've spoken with John Simpson, President, Trikke Tech, Inc and BJ Viers about this event. The three of us; Trikke Tech, Inc, TRIKKE Tampa and First Coast Trikkes will host this Florida Trikke Fun Ride event that is in conjunction with the Rails to Trails 12th Annual Bike Ride. However, you will be responsible for your own registration and fees with the Rails to Trails of Withlacoochie Ride Citizens Support Organization. We will not require any additional fees for our supporting Trikke riders that show to this event. See below for more information on registration for the 12th Annual Rails to Trails of the Withlacoochie Bike Ride.

This isn't a competition. It's an opportunity for our area Trikke riders to meet each other and do a Trikke Fun Ride like Florida has never seen. We hope to see Trikke riders of all ages and all models come from all over the southeast! Be sure to pass this newsletter on to anyone you know that has a Trikke. Help us make this the biggest Trikke gathering and ride ever!

Prizes for Pre-Registrants - Win a FREE TRIKKE T8C-Air! In addition to the event, the Rails to Trails of Withlacoochie will be having a prize drawing for all of the pre-registered participants. Pre-register before Sept 15th to be eligible for the prize drawings. After speaking with the event coordinator he advised me there will be approximately 150 prizes given away. At least 2 of them will be $500+ bicycles. Trikke Tech, Inc, Trikke Tampa and First Coast Trikkes will be donating a new 2007 Deluxe Trikke T8C-Air. The drawing for all prizes will be held by the Rails to Trails Support Organization the night before and a list of all winners will be posted in their booth at the event. This Rails to Trails event is a great opportunity for you to win a new Trikke T8C-Air or other fabulous products donated by area businesses.

What to expect:

-After you check in with the Rails to Trails booth confirming your registration you will need to come and check in at the TRIKKE booth. You'll see our custom TRIKKE Tampa trailer and canopy with banners. BJ and I will be there.

-We'll verify your Rails to Trails registration, have you sign a "Trikke Safety on the Trail" document and give you a TRIKKE goodie bag. The safety document is for your, our and others protection. The Trikke is a unique machine but its driver can be a hazard to himself and others on the trail if proper safety and trail etiquette isn't practiced. We want the reputation of the Trikke and it's driver to be a positive one.

-We'll also mark you down for the amount of miles you plan on riding so we can track your "Rock-N-Miles" Club badge progress.

- Every Trikke rider that shows to the event will receive a free "TRIKKE" goodie bag. Goodie bags include a TRIKKE Tampa t-shirt, a First Coast Trikke's t-shirt and a TRIKKE water bottle from Trikke Tech, Inc. Each bag will also include your choice of a Tampa Trikker's decal and/or a First Coast Trikker's decal that can adhere to your Trikke.

- If you complete 5, 10, 15, 25, 50, 75 or 100 miles on this day we'll award you your "Rock-N Miles Club" decals to put on your Trikke. This is a way of showing off what you have accomplished and being proud of your awesome Fun-Fitness machine. Click Here to see a sample of the decals. Click the image to the left to see the decals on a Trikke.

Please come out and participate in our first ever Florida Trikke Fun Ride and support the Florida Rails to Trails program. It's truly a win-win situation. Keep in mind when you register for the 12th Annual Withlacoochie Bike Ride you also get a t-shirt with the Rails to Trails logo on it.

Hey Everyone,

I hope you're enjoying your Ultimate Fun-Fitness Machine! The Trikke is truly an amazing machine that is taking the nation by storm. You're in on the beginning of the next generation of fun, fitness and transportation!

We have some really good topics in this newsletter. Be sure to check out the Trikke Maintenance section and the new videos of how to fold and unfold your Trikke.

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

Folding and Unfolding Your Trikke Videos - Having troubles folding and unfolding your Trikke? Check out these video's and see if it helps. It's really simple to do once you know the technique and practice it a couple of times. Go to my "Trikke Video's" link or click here.

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:

Parts and Accessories - Needing parts or accessories for your Trikke? Be sure to check out our parts and accessories pages. I'll be adding even more items in the coming weeks. Click Here to check it out.

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.

-Save 10% OFF your Next Trikke purchase - Mention this newsletter and 10% OFF when you call to place your order and we'll give you a 10% discount off the retail purchase price of any Trikke model! Order 3 or more Trikke models and get a whopping 15% OFF!

Feel free to call me or send an email to let me know you're going to be at our ride so we can expect you. You can reply to this email, call (813) 610-7384 or email me at andy@... .

Hi Andy,

This is Alicia Perry. Remember the emails we traded back and forth as I was trying to decide whether to get an 8 or a 12 air? Then you hooked me up with Carl here in Sacramento? I already have an affiliate account with you. If you check the stats for aliciap1214 you'll see that I've had over 30 hits since I joined up (been handing out cards right and left). Not sure why they aren't buying, though. The stats page does show sales, doesn't it?

Anyway, the latest "looky loo" happened on my lunch today. She was really, really psyched. But, of course I forgot my cards. Good news is that she walks near my route every day so we'll hook up next week.

Thanks for the tip, anyway!

Alicia

Actually, I went trikking last night, too, in West Sac at around 7:30

I went out on the Trikke yesterday in over 100 degree Sacramento heat. It wasn't a problem however, as first I plunged myself into Lake Natomas (55 degrees) then Trikked with wet clothing (neoprene and a fleece top - held the water on my skin quite nicely)! I think I did about 2-3 miles. A lot of fun!

Seriously! It's way too hot right now! Yes, lets wait til it cools a bit.

How bout the rest of you guys?

I'd also maybe be up for a ride the last weekend of July.

Hi Rae,

I have a T8 Air, also. The smoothness of the road isn't that much of a bother, it just makes it a little easier to ride if the road isn't full of cracks, loose asphalt, etc. I wouldn't ride my poly on anything but a side-walk or smooth paved area.

I live in West Sac and they are putting in a lot of new parks with "walking paths" that I plan on checking out. I'm hoping they'll put in a paved bike trail to link the different areas. That will save me from having to drive 15 - 20 miles just to go trikking (if I'm not up to the American River Bike Trail, that is).

I'm definitely going to check out ARC and Negro Bar, thanks for the tips. Have you ever ventured out to UC Davis? I've heard it is full of bike paths.

The path in Rancho Cordova, if you are interested, is off of White Rock Rd. To get there from Sacramento take Hwy 50 to Sunrise and head South on Sunrise. At White Rock Rd make a right. The first intersection will be Kilgore; make a left onto Kilgore. At the leading edge of the housing development look to your right and you will see the start of the paved bike path. It continues, block by block for about 3 blocks and then continues on without you're having to cross a street for about 2 or 3 miles. It's a great workout.

As for the kickbiking forum .. I joined it at the same time I joined this one and I'm actually considering opting out of it. Too many emails! LOL! I guess I prefer forums like TrikkeTalk.com that only send you emails if you want to receive them.

Question: Are you one of the Trikkers in the photo? And if so, which one?

Take care,

Alicia

Hi Alicia,

You must use polyurethane wheels if the smoothness of the road bugs you :-)

There's a woman on "kickbiking" who goes in Old Town Sacramento and just rides in the city on the streets with her Trikke 8 version 1 - her name is Marg. I went with her a few weeks ago, it's a neat spot.

I know that at American River College they just repaved nearly all of the parking lots and if you go early on a Sunday, you can Trikke there. It feels really smooth...

The path near Negro Bar is nice too, but I'm not sure if it's super smooth. I have a T8 v 1, but I use my T8.5 with air tires which doesn't rattle so much (now that I finally have one).

There are about 6 other riders in Sacramento. They all are on the kickbiking listserv. I'm trying to get them on this listserv as well but they're being a bit obstinate ;-)

unfortunately I tried it for the first time a couple of weekends ago
on a 100 degree day, so I guess I should try it again.

Is that the trail you wrote about below?

Oh, and I Trikke, which is why I'm looking for newer pathed trails.

Hey Everyone,

I hope you're not letting the heat discourage you from riding your Ultimate Fun-Fitness Machine! I think we have some good topics in this newsletter. Be sure to check out the Trikke Maintenance section.

Trikke Tampa Club Ride & Clinic - This weeks ride is going to be at Gadsen Park next to Macdill AFB. I'm also including a clinic with this week's ride. So, for the ones that may need some additional instructions on riding or need me to take a look at your Trikke for maintenance issues we will be there to take care of it on the spot. This trail is only a 2 mile loop. It's a great trail for the kids and beginners. One half of the trail is shaded and the other half is around a lake. You might even have the opportunity to see planes taking off from the base. Click on the yellow "View Map" button in the upper left for directions.

Previous Club Ride - Our last ride was on the Upper Tampa Bay Trail. A VERY nice trail with LOTS of shade. We had 10 Trikke riders that rode 8 to 10 miles. Steve and I saw an alligator 6+ feet long. We didn't get a picture of it but if you go to the photos it was in the water next where our pictures are being taken under the bridge. We really had a good time. Click Here to see the photo's.

Online Trikke Forums - Below are links to a couple of very active online Trikke forums. If you have a question there are many people that can help provide an answer. If you have a personal testimonial about your experience on your fantastic Fun-Fitness Machine, everyone loves to hear it. These forums are great places to find others that are experiencing the same excitement and enjoyment that you are and everyone is always waiting to read about others Trikke adventures.

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 www.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. If anyone else is interested in being a POC for rides or creating a Trikke Club in your area please send me an email at andy@... .

Air-Air-Air - 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. There's also a blue printed label stating "80psi" on the tire. 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: 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.

Affiliate Program - Don't forget about our Trikke Tampa affiliate program. This is your chance to earn cash while you're getting fit and having fun on your Trikke. It's free, it's easy and the marketing tools are provided! I'm starting to add banner ads for your affiliate link in the members area. If you haven't signed up or want to learn more about our affiliate program please Click Here. If you need a jpg or pdf file to give to a printing company to print your affiliate cards then let me know. I can customize it with your affiliate information and email it back to you. I plan on adding a service where you can purchase your affiliate cards from me. I'm trying to get the details worked out on the process.

Hi Rae,

I tried the trail that starts in Old Sacramento. It's a little rough
(surface wise), but seems like it would be a pretty good trail. But
unfortunately I tried it for the first time a couple of weekends ago
on a 100 degree day, so I guess I should try it again.

Is that the trail you wrote about below?

Oh, and I Trikke, which is why I'm looking for newer pathed trails.

Thanks,

Alicia

Want to meet up sometime to go together?

Hi Rae,

I have a T8 Air, also. The smoothness of the road isn't that much of a bother, it just makes it a little easier to ride if the road isn't full of cracks, loose asphalt, etc. I wouldn't ride my poly on anything but a side-walk or smooth paved area.

I live in West Sac and they are putting in a lot of new parks with "walking paths" that I plan on checking out. I'm hoping they'll put in a paved bike trail to link the different areas. That will save me from having to drive 15 - 20 miles just to go trikking (if I'm not up to the American River Bike Trail, that is).

I'm definitely going to check out ARC and Negro Bar, thanks for the tips. Have you ever ventured out to UC Davis? I've heard it is full of bike paths.

The path in Rancho Cordova, if you are interested, is off of White Rock Rd. To get there from Sacramento take Hwy 50 to Sunrise and head South on Sunrise. At White Rock Rd make a right. The first intersection will be Kilgore; make a left onto Kilgore. At the leading edge of the housing development look to your right and you will see the start of the paved bike path. It continues, block by block for about 3 blocks and then continues on without you're having to cross a street for about 2 or 3 miles. It's a great workout.

As for the kickbiking forum .. I joined it at the same time I joined this one and I'm actually considering opting out of it. Too many emails! LOL! I guess I prefer forums like TrikkeTalk.com that only send you emails if you want to receive them.

Question: Are you one of the Trikkers in the photo? And if so, which one?

Take care,

Alicia

Hi Alicia,

You must use polyurethane wheels if the smoothness of the road bugs you :-)

There's a woman on "kickbiking" who goes in Old Town Sacramento and just rides in the city on the streets with her Trikke 8 version 1 - her name is Marg. I went with her a few weeks ago, it's a neat spot.

I know that at American River College they just repaved nearly all of the parking lots and if you go early on a Sunday, you can Trikke there. It feels really smooth...

The path near Negro Bar is nice too, but I'm not sure if it's super smooth. I have a T8 v 1, but I use my T8.5 with air tires which doesn't rattle so much (now that I finally have one).

There are about 6 other riders in Sacramento. They all are on the kickbiking listserv. I'm trying to get them on this listserv as well but they're being a bit obstinate ;-)
