Folding Adult Tricycle This folding adult tricycle, by Dongshan, is great if you aren’t able to ride a two-wheeler, but are skimped on storage space: folding size is 51.18 x 31.49 x 35.43 inches. The rear seat can fit two youngsters or one adult; and has a seat belt for added safety. Recommended rider height […]

New Bike? I don’t need a new bike if I’m considering tackling RAGBRAI, do I? The Tommaso Sentiero shown above sounds like a good choice per se. It has a wide range of gears; and pre-drilled holes for attaching bottle cages and racks. It’s also equipped with disc brakes for good stopping power in all
Recap “Recap” sounds like a musical term to me. There’s also “recap” as in, buy a new helmet. Sunday afternoon I was preparing for a jaunt on the road bike; and when I put on my helmet, it simply did not fit. At first I thought I needed to tighten the ratchet in the back;
Better and Better! My hand is getting better and better! Today I tried another ride on the road bike. The sky looked so threatening that I cut it very short; but my hand did better that it did last Wednesday. Shifting up to the big ring is still uncomfortable; but at least it doesn’t hurt
Already Thinking of Heat! I’m already thinking of heat; and for hot rides, this Mission Cooling Neck Gaiter is a product that I’d like to try. My hand still can’t tolerate rides over about 10 miles; but when I can do 40-mile rides again, I’ll be out in the heat! On top of that, I’m

Back on Track I’m working to get back on track now. It’s great to be riding again; but it will take a while before I’m really normal again. Today I rode the hybrid to the salvage store. HOORAY!! First time since surgery! I didn’t take the trailer, because I don’t think I’m ready for hauling
Dreaming Again! Yes, I’m dreaming again; this time about RAGBRAI! Is it really so impossible? Apparently it isn’t too late to register for RAGBRAI 2023; but I’m quite sure it’s too late for me to train up to it. After all, the big ride starts on July 22; and I’m just getting back on the
Starting Anew I’m starting anew; sort of. Today is the first time since my surgery that I tried riding the road bike. It was great to be on “Scottie” again; but it seems my hand and wrist aren’t quite ready for it yet. After about five miles, things started to feel tired and strained. Good
Rego? Rego? As in ready to go again? I guess that’s the point. Science in Sport Rego is designed to help your muscles recover quickly; and then you’ll be, well, ready to go again. I bet this would be good mixed with almond milk; and regular dairy milk would be good, too. I’m admittedly not
