Why tricycles are great for adults and not just for children

Tricycles are commonly known as small bikes with three-wheels, made for children. When children are learning to ride a bike, tricycles are often used to help them get used to being on wheels. But did you know that tricycles are great for adults too, and not just for children?

Adult tricycles are a becoming increasingly popular all over the world, with their inclusivity being one of the many reasons why adults are choosing to ride a tricycle instead of a normal bike.

Jorvik Tricycles supply reliable and aesthetically pleasing adult tricycles, with a wide range of choice, trendy designs and at a reasonable price. These adult tricycles have proven to be popular amongst those who don’t feel confident riding a two-wheeler, those who are elderly and those with disabilities.

Accessibility

Tricycles have three big sturdy wheels; this means that those who have disabilities such as autism or dyspraxia find it much easier to balance themselves on the trike. This opens up a world of opportunities for many people, with tricycles giving those with disabilities new levels of independence.

Riding to work and meeting up with friends is more viable to those with disabilities and the elderly if using a tricycle, as tricycles are stable and safe.

Stability and Safety

As previously mentioned, tricycles have three big sturdy wheels, this provides a lot more stability when riding, and means you are less likely to tumble over when riding, like you would on a bike. Tricycles are also a lot more noticeable than a bike, because of their large stature, this means when riding on the roads, cars and other motorists will spot you straight away, so you can be safe in the knowledge that you are very visible and it will be unlikely an collisions will occur.

To ensure that accidents on the roads are avoided, wearing bright hi-visibility vests, and equipping your tricycle with sufficient lighting is a good idea.

Ease

Tricycles are very similar to the bikes you may have ridden when you were younger that had stabilisers attached to them, the only differences is that tricycles look much cooler and they are not just for young children, they are for everyone!

Having three fat tyres and a front suspension makes riding on all terrains really easy. Tricycles are also much lower to the ground, which makes climbing hills much easier than climbing hills on a bike.

Family

Tricycles make a family day out in nature a pleasurable and stress-free experience. When riding a bike, there is always the chance that someone might tumble over and hurt themselves, and they also make carrying cargo difficult. But with a tricycle, you can be comfortable that children will be able to ride them, as the two wheels at the back act as stabilisers. Tricycles also allow riders to carry a large amount of cargo with them, whether this is by using a trike trailer or a attachable cargo bag.

Environmentally friendly

Tricycles are great for the environment, and as they are accessible to a wider range of people, this gives a wider range of people the opportunity to help out the environment, by swapping their commute in a car or on a train to riding a tricycle!

Some people may want to help the environment out by riding a bike into work, but because they are not confident on two-wheels this is stopping them, and therefore stopping them from doing their bit for the environment.

Mental wellbeing

There is nothing better than getting out in the fresh air to help your mental wellbeing. If you are feeling stressed or overwhelmed, sometimes getting out in nature and exercising is all you need to feel positive. Riding a tricycle is a great way to clear the mind, and to feel at one with the outdoors.

So, do you think a riding a tricycle is for you? With all these benefits, getting a tricycle will be one of the best decisions you make.
