We are having our third group ride tomorrow night, Tuesday night at St. Timothy's Catholic School on the track. We have adjusted the start time by half an hour due to day light hours. It will run from approximately 7:30-8:30pm.

Update from last weeks ride:

• tunings on attended Trikkes

  • tire pressures were increased

  • adjustments were made to the brake cables to route them properly around the handle bars, this was changed/pointed out on two Trikkes

  • handle bar position was too far forward

  • breaks needed adjusting

• challenges

  • hill climbing skill was generally considered the most difficult skill, so we broke down the technique to demonstrate for the riders. To see a similar breakdown, have a watch of this You Tube video from 3cvtv on hill climbing. Get those toes kicking!

• general comments

  • I think that the riders found the session valuable and would likely attend again. It was indicated that they would rider more if they had someone else to ride with when not at the session. To address this, if you're interested in hosting a ride session and you think you have a great location, let us know and we'll try to have a group ride in your area.

If you:

• have a Trikke, we encourage you to bring a buddy and we'll supply them with one for a short try session while demos are available.

• don't have a Trikke, come anyway and we'll introduce you and a buddy to the Trikke in a very relaxed terrain session while demos are available.

• are unsure about the weather for the session, call 416.497.9463 for a status.

• would like some help on a particular aspect of riding, (hill climbing or tricks [you're never too old to play] for example) let us know in advance and we will do our best to accommodate you.

We will have ...

If Tuesday evenings are not a convenient time, please let us know the most suitable times and we'll try to schedule a better time and/or alternate session in the future. We're also thinking of a session on the weekends, but are currently open to suggestions!

Back in June, we mentioned we were going to try to find a way to connect you with other Trikke riders. Well, we just released our first phase of this. It is called Trikke Connections.

In order to maintain your privacy and adhere to our privacy policy, we have only published a pin in your town/city to indicate  there is at least one Trikke rider in the vicinity. Should you wish to have more information added to a locator pin on the map so that other Trikke riders can contact you, we need your permission and the information that would be published. There is also a grading level of skills based on level 1 to 3. The description of the skills of each of these will be in an upcoming email, but you could assume that they represent beginner (or level 1), intermediate (or level 2), and advanced (or level 3) for now. Level 3 would include being able to high climb from a stationary position. All pins points or marker points are assumed to be level 1 until verified. More on this in up coming newsletters.

Some of the other Trikke riders have already been in touch with us and allowed us to publish their name and email for example. The ultimate choice is yours, but we hope that you'll contact us so that other Trikke riders can connect with you. It is so much more fun to Trikke with a buddy!

We hope that our next release will be more informative and include favourite riding locations.

The goals of Canadian Wind Rider are to provide you with innovative, safe and reliable leisure products, and support you as your active needs develop.
