In a recent blog post, on Trikker Chicks… For Women Who Carve, I complained about a crazy dance I was involuntarily doing while walking down the street. Or carving. Or getting out of bed. It was a muscle spasm in my low back (okay hip/buttock area). It would grip me for a moment then [...]

Serendipity in silence

Sue Thompson — Wed, 22 May 2013 18:54:07 PDT

Most of the time when I’m out on my Trikke, I’m listening to music or inspirational messages from my favorite authors and speakers. It’s my time to fill my insides and exercise my outsides; while the outside sweats, the insides rest. Sunday mornings are different. If I’m up early enough, I look forward to a [...]

Got bar ends? Give yourself a brake! (bar end locking brake lever, that is!) [video]

Recently, a popular accessory got its own accessory, giving Trikke riders who use bar ends a break when it comes to braking. Accessory number one: bar ends, the handlebar extension that’s popular among some riders. Perhaps as many as 20% of the carvers on the So Cal carving circuit sport them.

No one babbles about Trikke quite like the Trikke-O-Babbler, also known as Elise Bennett, the East Texas rider who went from super disabled to Super Girl, thanks to her Trikke.
