Thanks for keeping me up to date
<br>
With the DC recumbent rider forum.
<br>
I'm not sure if anything but these reminders are coming
through.
<br>
We have a huge interest in trike riders who want to go on
rides with other
trikes.
<br>
</font></tt>
<tt><font size="+1"><br>
While recumbent two wheelers have little if any trouble
(except for some occasional snubbing and snobbing)
participating in 'regular' group and club rides, the trikers
often feel a bit awkward and get even more snubbing.
<br>
</font></tt>
<tt><font size="+1"><br>
Someone suggested regular get togethers and an online meetup
group.
<br>
While a busy season ( after a slow winter and soft 2014 and
2015) prevents
<br>
my organizing such activities and group, I'd like to offer
support in the
<br>
form of loaner trikes, starting points with parking, restrooms
and
<br>
refreshments at both of our shops, and tech support.
<br>
</font></tt>
<tt><font size="+1"><br>
Please pass this on to anyone who might be interested
