Adult Trikes and Rickshaw Bikes


I luff these three wheel bicycles. They're often called adult trikes or adult tricycles and usually have a basket in the back. This particular bike is actually called a
rickshaw bicycle, although it is very different from the more popular Asian man-pulled rickshaw. I've seen a few people in countries like Italy or France can go for a ride through the streets and gardens in a pedi cab that is peddled by an apparently very able-legged man, but that is, of course, not such a daunting task when it is compared to the man-pulled richshaw.

Gomier makes some really nice-looking three wheeled bikes with baskets that go for about $700, but you can get a really good deal for the same Gomier bikes at this eBay store. The rickshaw bike pictured above is a limited edition bike made by Rideable Bike Replicas. It's a replica of an actual antiqueand it's being sold for $895, minus shipping expenses. You can see more of these intriguing bikes here. And while you're there take a peek at the cool accessories section- the bike bells are so cute!
