Today we took a nice drive up to Crosby, Minnesota where the only Trikke dealer in the midwest is located. Our destination was Cycle Path & Paddle where we planned to pick up two Trikke T78s. The morning was beautiful down here in the Twin Cities but by the time we arrived in Crosby, it was cloudy and the temps had dropped to 38 degrees and there was still plenty of ice on the lakes in the area. It was only a couple of hour trip but what a difference it made in weather difference. By the time we got back home, the skies had cleared and the temps were back into the 60s.
Assembly of our new Trikkes took all of 15 minutes which left us all afternoon to do some serious trikking. I think we spent at least an hour carving up our neighborhood today. What a blast. I really felt like I got a good workout in spite of all the fun. If my sweating was any indication, I'd say that I lost a few pounds.
Trikking isn't like riding a bike. It is more like skiing or surfing and it is a continual challenge to improve technique and individual style. We both ended our day very happy with our new form of activitiy and glad that we made the investment. Just to prove we did this, I am embedding a short video of our experience today. Maybe it will encourage others to look into this new Trikke craze. I think we will be seeing more of these on the streets soon. We were stopped by several passers by who inquired into what this new-fangled thing was all about. I only wish that we had our own dealership. I think we could have sold a couple this afternoon.
