Jordan River Parkway Bike Ride

It was relatively warm today (40ยบ F) so we took the kids for a ride on the Jordan River Parkway trail. This is a great place to spend some time in the fall, winter and spring when there is still snow and mud in the higher elevations. Here’s some video footage of the ride. If you haven’t ever seen a recumbent bike, you are probably wondering what is going on. I ride a Terra Trike Tour which is a three wheeled recumbent bike. It’s actually very easy to operate the camera while riding because you don’t have to balance and ride at the same time. The trike is great for riding with the kids because it puts you at their level. Also, when they are riding their bikes, you can start and stop and ride as slow as they do with their training wheels. Mostly I use my recumbent to commute to work. A nice, comfortable, reclined seat means that I can ride every day without getting saddle sore. I average 4 days a week riding to work and I love it.
