E-BIKES: Courteous is always best

| July 23, 2025 1:00 AM

A month ago I purchased a recumbent fat wheel trident trike (a three-wheeler). I already have 169 miles trail riding. My trike is a partial assist pedal bike. I’m in my late 80s and haven’t been able to bike ride for a decade. Old age, balance, etc. It took me two years to convince my wife I wasn’t going to be run over by a truck. I exercise almost daily, and even my doctor said this would be OK and helpful for what’s left of my body.

I’ve road the Trail of the Coeur d’Alenes both ways. Section by section both ways except from Wallace to Mullan and back. Every section is a great ride — nothing like being out in nature. Never had a problem with riders not being courteous or helpful. Three-wheelers being wider, I always slow down passing those stopped or going slower — children, etc.
