I got to ride a terra trike today

[Bill B]

I got a email from a fellow that had visited my webshots photo page. Turns out that he is newly
bent. He is a proud owner of a new Whiz Wheels terra trike. I had been hearing from the guys that
hang around the country store that they had been seeing a bike like mine except that it had three
wheels. Well the guy that emailed me is the guy they had seen. Small world Huh? Anyway I hooked up
with the trike owner and his wife today and got the chance to take the trike out for a spin. My
impressions? Nice trike. Candy apple red, deore mechanical disk brakes and 20" tires all around. I
always wondered if the tadpoles were rough riding and now I know they are not.lots of fun to ride
and comfy too. I also found out that they are not for me. Way to low to the ground and for me the
tad poles are to hard to get in and out of. Guess I'm just a RANS LWB kind of guy

Before you completely write off trikes. I have a Penninger Voyager. It's great. I also have a RANS
Tailwind. But I live in Bloomington, IN (home of the Hilly Hundred). The Voyager is much - much
nicer on hills. On the RANS Tailwind, I sometimes think I walk more then I ride because of the grade
and number of hills. The Penninger also rides a lot higher then a tadpole configuration trike, and
is considerably easier to get on instead of feeling like you are crawling into a tadpole
configuration.

I also rode my TerraTrike today; to a little thing called BikeFest. Very pleasing to see Greenspeed,
Optima, S&B, Penninger alongside Haluzak, EZ-3, Raven, and who knows what else.

My TT has become my erector set, and getting in the cockpit (overhead fairing) is a real chore. But
normally, it is very easy to sit in for me.

The TT is too low?!?!? RANS must be pretty high!

Bill: I'm glad you found out what you wanted to know. It was a pleasure to meet you. C'ya on the
Mississippi River Trail sometime. Grins, Art in Memphis

Also: Anyone else in the area who wishes to test ride a TerraTrike 3.4 can email me at
[email protected] minus the NOTSPAM. We usually ride the MSR Trail and then the bluffs and
have brunch and a European "sports drink" (-:beer at Gordon Biersch on Sundays around noon.
