Although we normally talk about bicycling (two-wheeling) in its many forms, there is a 3-wheeled conveyance that could qualify as cycling even though there is no pedaling involved. Yes, a 3-wheeler or tricycle, but better known as a carving vehicle. You may have seen this product advertised on late-night television, the Trikke, and although it doesn’t technically fit squarely into the bicycle culture it is a very compelling and fun ride that is human-powered. Unlike your standard bicycle you’ll be required to use your entire body to keep the Trikke moving on a flat surface or even uphill. When riding on the Trikke, your leaning body movements from side to side, much like carving down a ski slope, to propel this carving vehicle forward allowing you to reach a fast pace quite easily for long distances. The Trikke provides an amazing workout that is also exceptionally fun and will have you moving at a fast clip along the road depending on how active you like to be. This is a ride that is extremely low impact and will work those muscles that may sometimes neglected during your conventional bike riding. Riding the Trikke may very well be the best way to compliment your normal cycling activities in an equally exhilarating way and may help you become more physically fit for competitive cycling. If you like cycling for the freedom, fun and exercise it provides, you may like the idea of riding the Trikke for the same benefits but with a different feel.
