Cycling The Bay Trail On The Trice Q, Trice T And Greenspeed GTO Recumbent Trikes

When the temperatures get up near one-hundred degrees in the Sacramento area, it's a short hour and a half ride down to the San Francisco Bay Trail for some cool ocean breezes, arguably the best views you'll find on any ride and some fish and chips at the Sea Breeze. Mom was melting in the valley heat, so we brought her, and her Trice T, along for the ride.

Maybe you could try the "Snickers" setup in Dregerclock's "Recumbent Trke and Bike Ride--With Dacshund" video. :-). BTW, they do strap the dog in.

@Trikesalot That looks like it may work! Thanks for the suggestion!

Just watched it again before I go out for my morning ride. Gorgeous shots, beautiful music, and an inspiring ride! But I haven't seen any new videos from you guys...what's up?

@Trikesalot Thanks for the kind words about the video! Been crazy busy with other stuff lately, including adopting two dogs from a shelter. Haven't been able to figure out how to incorporate the (small) dogs into the trike rides yet. Threw 'em both in a Burley child carrier and they went crazy nuts in there, so that's not gonna work. :) Hopefully, as soon as this rain lets off, the days get a little longer and we get the dog situation figured out, we'll get some more videos up.

What a BEAUTIFUL ride! And a lovely relaxed pace...my opinion, that's what triking should be about. Why, even my GT1 would be great on a ride like THAT! I'll be looking for more sweet vids like that one.

@Trikesalot Yeah, if you can manage a trip to that area, it's an amazing stretch of trail. Actually makes you stop and just say "wow' a few times during the ride. Hey, that GT1 is perfect for anything, including rides across the U.S.!

[Trikesalot]

Hey, you're welcome! Anything to get some more of your great videos/music up on the 'Tube! :-)

[Trikesalot]

Oh, I do love my GT1...just wish it had a taller top gear. On the down-hills it spins out too quickly. But then, maybe the real problem is the 68-year-old ENGINE! Maybe I should stick to the laid-back rides like in your wonderful video. Thanks for your encouraging comments...and your great vids! :-)

@taiwan1895 Having once lived in Richmond, we have street cred ;) "Point" Richmond is really a very nice area, and they've created a little upscale haven over there. There's even a waterside area with multimillion-dollar, high design homes.

Wow - you made it safely through Richmond!
