r/Bikejoring

So I’m in my late 50s and my balance has gotten kinda sketchy after a minor crash last fall. I was watching an older guy cruise past my bus stop on a big cargo-looking trike the other day and it low-key planted a seed in my brain.

​

I’ve always ridden regular bikes, nothing fancy, but lately I’m nervous in traffic and on slow climbs. Started googling “adult tricycle" stuff at like 1am and fell into a mix of folding trikes, fat-tire setups, and even the odd electric trike option. Reviews all sound super positive, but of course they do, it’s marketing.

​

Has anyone here actually used a trike as their main ride? How sketchy do they feel in turns, especially with a higher seat? Are electric ones worth it for hills or just extra weight and cost? I’m mostly thinking grocery runs, bike path cruising, maybe 10-15 mile days max.

​

Maybe I’m overthinking this, but I’d love real-world pros/cons, stuff you wish you knew before buying, and any specific models or features to look for or avoid.

Hi! this is my puppy Baela, i recentlt discovered bikejoring and want to give it a try with her. She is currently 5 months old tho so i know a true run is ways away but i want to know how to train for it and what i should prepare and know about in this time while my pup keeps growing.
any and all tips you think might’ve help you out when u first began are welcome!!
we do walks on the local bike trail and im soon to get a bike so we can start getting her used to it, also an attached wagon so i can take her when she is too tired or has been walking too long.
