Three-wheel bicycles<\/h2>\n

It has been too long since we abandoned our first three-wheeled bicycle, the tricycle from our early years with which we rode around happily and carefree; should we really consider one at our age?!
\nAnd if so, then how come?!<\/p>\n

We have grown up, we have become parents, and we now buy tricycles for our youngest children, and yet even they no longer ride them, switching to a two-wheeled bike with or without support wheels, so why should we care about three-wheeled bikes now! In this article we reveal some reasons for having one.<\/p>\n

1. Three-wheel bicycles are stable.<\/strong><\/p>\n

a) Keeping your balance is child's play when cycling alone. Even if you fall once, so what! The situation is different if you have a precious load to carry, an infant, a small child, or even an older child (I once witnessed a bike fall off while stationary with a child in the seat). If you then have two children, riding a two-wheeler becomes not only dangerous, but also prohibited by the highway code.<\/p>\n

b) However much you may have been born on a bike, falling is not an option as you get older. An accidental fall is more dangerous when you are no longer 20 years old. Besides, with a family to run, who can afford a broken arm!<\/p>\n

2. 3-wheel bikes are capacious.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cargo or family bikes come in different types. With regard to the number of wheels, they can be 2 or 3-wheelers. Two-wheel cargo bikes, like one of the long bike subspecies, are more capacious than a normal bike and can carry more weight. However, in terms of capacity, only three-wheel bikes can carry a large basket on the front or rear (the least happy solution in terms of manoeuvrability). And so you can carry a lot of cargo, four-legged friends and children, sometimes up to 6 (however, the highway code allows a maximum of 4 children to be carried on a specially adapted bike)!<\/p>\n

3. 3-wheel bicycles are more comfortable.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes-yes! They are comfortable because they are stable, it is easier to get on and off, to load and unload children or even a load:<\/p>\n

a) going at walking pace in crowded places (of course for this they must also be agile and manoeuvrable, but the TAGA is!);<\/p>\n

b) slow down or stop to see something or have a chat;<\/p>\n

c) using it as a chair at an outdoor concert or watching street performers (agility and manoeuvrability also make a difference here);<\/p>\n

d) stopping and dismounting even on an uphill or downhill slope for any need, e.g. picking up a lost toy or hat.<\/p>\n

4. 3-wheel bikes are more versatile.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can take the kids for a walk, do the shopping, develop a business, give someone a lift, go to the beach, take one or more four-legged friends and let your imagination run wild!<\/p>\n

5. Three-wheel bikes are cool!<\/strong><\/p>\n

I bet you never thought of it that way! But that's only because...<\/p>\n

6. Three-wheel bicycles THEY ARE NOT ALL THE SAME<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

Only TAGA BIKE can boast an endless array of awards, only the world's 7 most prestigious awards in the world of cycling, childhood and DESIGN!<\/p>\n
