After looking at many trikes and bikes, I think I have found the one for me.
I tend to like cruising bikes and I needed one that would fit in my basement door opening which is 42 inches wide by 22 inches high - so this one could be it as it folds down to less than those dimensions. Weighs only 45 pounds. Found it at Camping World for a cost of $194.00.
I would of course need a basket on the front for my Shih Tzu... but I don't think that will be a problem to install a hook on that can be easily removed for storage.
I live about 2 hours from Camping World and not sure if I want to go there to test drive it first or not. I need to think about it some more and also check into our local bike shop here in town for similar bikes.
I need to sell the trike I currently have and hope to get at least the cost of the new bike for it. I paid almost $600 for it 2 years ago.
I looked into electric folding bikes and they are awesome street legal bikes. However, most states require you to have a motorcycle license, insurance, and wear a helmet which I don't want to do.
All of this trouble just because they don't make a decent trike rack for the back of the coach. Oh well.....
Thanks for visiting our blog! I wouldn't mind adding a post rapture dog or three to my family, either. Although, I don't understand people leaving their family behind.
ReplyDeleteI'll be interested to know your decision with regard to the bike!

Hi Cyndi and Stumpy,
ReplyDeleteI'm really torn about what bike to get. I currently have a trike that I really love but I would like to have a bike that I can store in the basement. As soon as the Mississippi River stops flooding I will travel up to Camping World and check out their stock.
