More Than Three Wheels

A trike is easy to recognise: three wheels, a distinctive stance, and a ride that feels different from a conventional bicycle. Yet the appeal goes well beyond its shape. Trikes bring together practical design, personal expression, and the pleasure of travelling at a comfortable pace. For some riders, trikes make cycling feel more stable and accessible. For others, they offer a fresh and super comfortable way to explore familiar roads and paths.

There is no single trike experience. Designs vary in seating position, frame geometry, tyre and wheel size, and intended use. Some are built for relaxed rides through town, while others are suited to longer journeys or more challenging terrain. Each choice affects how a trike handles and feels, making thoughtful setup an important part of the riding experience.

Talk to Ray about all the options, take up his offer to test ride several different models and select the trike that is the perfect fit for you and your budget.

Stories from the Road

Triking is about the journey and the destination. A quiet lane, a riverside route, or a conversation with another rider can turn an ordinary outing into a memorable day. Combine fun with exercise and do it all in the unique comfort that only a trike can provide.

Riders in the trike community all bring different backgrounds and reasons for riding. Yes whilst many are drawn by the superior comfort of the trike, others appreciate the engineering, the performance, the freedom to travel or simply just the chance to spend more time outdoors. 

Design, Care, and Discovery

Trikes suit riders of all ages, backgrounds and fitness levels. 

Adults enjoy the performance, the comfortable seat and the highly aero dynamic riding position.  At the end of a long ride the soreness often associated with bicycle riding (neck/seat etc) are typically reduced or eliminated entirely. Ride again tomorow!

Older riders or riders with disabilities find that the weight bearing comfort of a trike may allow them to start riding again or continue riding for longer. 

Trikes offers superior stability by reducing the need to balance, making them especially accessible for all riders from the fittest athletes to seniors, beginners or individuals with mobility challenges. For ultra fit riders and athletes, trikes with or without faring can be raced over short distances or participate in long distance and multi day events.

Trikes can carry heavy loads whilst remaining very stable which makes them ideal for stowing luggage and even camping gear for touring adventures.

Many trike models also fold easily to fit in the boot of your car.

Unlike a bicycle where if you stop on hill you loose balance and need to touch ground or dismount, trike riders remain comfortably in the seat even when stationary. Tired on the hill climb, just stop and rest. Trike riders have even been spotted at outdoor cinemas with the best seat in the house or not bothering to get off the trike at the cafe because it’s more comfortable than the cafe chairs…

The three-wheel design also provides a low-impact exercise option that apart from being great fun also reduces strain on joints while allowing riders to maintain an ergonomic posture, via the recumbent seating to minimise back and neck pain, as well as eliminate “bicycle saddle soreness”. 

Trikes offer something for all ages, something for everyone.
