Trikke Ride Levels




THE
most important thing for Trikkers is getting out and riding! We will be working on an ongoing listing of rides. Please note that they will be discussed as "level 1-4" rides. Our standards are below. These are made as suggestions. Please take your own ability and fitness levels into account and be careful when planning rides. Trikke Fitness is not responsible for any injury that may occur. ALWAYS WEAR YOUR HELMET

Level 1 Rides- Nice and Easy. Flat smooth surface. Typically parking lots with no traffic.  If you are beginning or practicing this is perfect for you. There are lots in your neighborhoods! Seek out places like Wal-Marts in the mornings or bank parking lots in the afternoons and weekends! Some less challenging greenways can be level ones too. Check individual listings

Level 2 Rides- Neighborhood and Urban Rides. Greenways with some challenges. Sidewalks and some street riding. Mostly flat surface but occasionally you will have to manage a slight incline.

Level 3 Rides- Longer inclines are regular though not steep. You should be able to maneuver sidewalks and handle regular street traffic.

Level 4 Rides-Extreme or trick riders. These routes combine all elements-incline, unpredictable surfaces, street traffic.
