This was the start of our ride from the office parking lot in Orangevale CA heading down to the paved trail system along Lake Natoma that we will use to reach the Johnny Cash Trail system. We went to the office to try to find my microphone windsock, did not find it. Anyways, instead of taking the back roads to the trailhead, we did surface streets in the bike lane down some main streets in Orangevale. Not my favorite. We ended up having a WHOOPSIE unexpected stop as we thought something fell off our trike, but we had just ran over a metal ring in the road. I discuss my Vipertek Stun Gun (and its uses while triking) as well as the wonderful cars parked in the bike lane LOL.

Where I bike in Wisconsin 56 degrees is shorts and t-shirt weather.

The wind chill riding is what kills me.

@@theadventuresofketkon8388 I have a fairing on my Tour Easy recumbent. That seems to help especially with keeping my legs and feet warm on really cold rides. I'm good down to about 30 degrees. My main problem is ice on the trail.

The video is more interesting hand held... rather than hard mountned to the trike. Enjoying your ride.

We are tandemers, though not trike tandemers. Considering this tandem. Would you fit in the sidewalk the whole time (had you wanted to)?

@theadventuresofketkon8388 6 ай бұрын

Yes it absolutely fits on the sidewalk.

Love the videos! What fell off at the end? Please say it wasn't a coupler.

we actually ran over an aluminum ring. Thought it was something falling off. Took us forever to figure out our trike was NOT falling apart

@@theadventuresofketkon8388 we finally found a black aluminum ring, that looked like it may have come off of someones camera (or something). Was sooooo strange. Boy did it worry us until we found it. We must have run over it just perfectly because it flipped up from the wheel and kind of ping ponged around the spokes and hit the frame. So it sounded like something big happened LOL

Do you have a motor on that?

@theadventuresofketkon8388 6 ай бұрын

We do have an assist motor. This tandem is a beast and very heavy. He bumps it occasionally to give us some speed. Right now since we're on a main road and we're heading to the bike trailhe's using the motor to get us the heck down there quickly.
