Comment on Trikke Bike Is a Great Workout by L.C.

Try going under darkened underpasses swaying back and forth
with bikes, joggers, kids, people walking dogs, everybody
goings both directions.

I don’t really care for bike paths like that because I like solitude, but I live in a rural area, so I have the luxury of being able to choose. When I said bike path, I was thinking of a rail-trail through a rural area where you see other riders once every 10 minutes or less, which is ideal for riding a Trikke. Wear a helmet, put a bell on your Trikke, and don’t wear earphones or earbuds so you can hear other riders behind you.

If you ride in urban areas, do like Hannah says and pick times with low traffic.

I avoid bike trails on weekends due to the high volume of traffic. However it shouldnt deter you from going on trails. Lunch time is a good time, mid morning is best where i live. The trail i frequent is sectioned into pedestrians, dog walkers, people with strollers and small children have the inside track. Roller blades, skateboards, cyclists and anything with wheels (Trikkes) have the outside track.

use your own judgement and you will be just fine

its the most fun you can have with out having to count repetitions, stare at a tv while walking on treadmill or being in the midst of a meat market ..er i mean gym. get outside and have some fun! you will be surprised at just how many people you will meet !

Bike paths are NOT an ideal place to ride these.
Try going under darkened underpasses swaying back and forth
with bikes, joggers, kids, people walking dogs, everybody
goings both directions. You are begging for a lawsuit.

I’m a “newbie,” & I’m Trikke addicted. Within 2 months I had 3, buying pre-owned & a cheaper version, cambering vehicle that has the same concept before I could decide the Trikke T8 was for me. (Just sold 2 & ordering my new one this week) I got on Trikke Forum to find others in my location & was able to try one of theirs. You don’t pedal, you don’t push, you use your human power as well as the 3 things you need to make it go. I learned so much from watching videos @ YouTube & the finding answers @ the Forum. It has done wonders for me I have had no back aches the last 2 months. I have R arthritis; I’m 5′ 102# & 58. Not only is it an all body, low impact, workout but it is soooo Much fun too. Try It You’ll Love It Also. Oh learning was difficult, because I didn’t listen but watch the videos, that to learn was NOT on asphalt or (you’ll feel & know the slightest) on a slope, & my 1st one was from a school teacher, pretty worn tires. So when I did find the “sweet spot” – I Trikke when it’s lunch time ;*)

Comment on Propane Weed Burners by L.C.

@Daniel: the powerful ones work great. Just give the weed a small blast so it wilts, and the wilted leaves will suck all the moisture out of the roots, killing the whole plant. Hovering over the weed and burning it to a crisp doesn’t work because the roots stay moist.

That’s not a typo – it’s a trademark name. I want to try it but I have never seen one except on an info-mercial. You take it outdoors like a bike but you stand on the thing as you step on the pedals and turn the handles. I wondered if anyone has purchased one and how they like or don’t like it.

Do those propane hand held gas burners for weeding work ie kill the weed. Only the packaging said something about causing the weed to dry out killing it. However the shop assistant said the root could live on to produce new growth.

Comment on Does the Laser Comb for Hair Loss Really Work? by Attitude tees

Attitude tees — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 14:09:01 +0000

I have been loosing my hair since my 18th birthday and this morning at the age of 22, my girlfriend asked, “where did it go?!” referring to my hair. I have gone to Bosley for a consultation on a hair transplant, and further inquired about the “laser comb”. I am curious if anyone out there has gotten a hair transplant from Bosley or has purchased the “laser comb”. What did you think? Was it worth it?

Solar is the coming thing for home improvements. from big projects like this to stand alone lights. If you are a DIY fan and you plan on connecting it to the grid you need a qualified electrician to look at your system.
