| This T has hydraulic disc brakes, Big Apple tires (2.35 on the rear), grip/light bar, custom computer mount, rack, X0 shifters, and much more. While it spends most of it's time on smooth surfaces, it is quite at home on trails like this. As soon as I get my hands on a full suspension Adventure, it's custom configuration will appear here. |

| Here's a nifty product that is useful well beyond triking. Wraparound sunglasses with built-in magnification for those of us who are at a disadvantage once we put our bifocals in a pocket. Takes the numbers on a bike computer--car dashboard, too--right out of the fog. (The diopter cuts do NOT show.)

| A car top rack is a secure method with a reasonable cost. One of the best examples I have found is the one shown here. The rails attached to the car can be Thule or Yakima. The trays are by Thule, Yakima, or Rocky Mounts. |
| The Trike Store offers complete support of the ICE line of trikes with most models in stock all the time and keeps a full line of factory accessories on hand. Test rides are available with direct trail access from the front door and can include a hill climb, 30 mph descent, and dirt surfaced trail. We are available by appointment seven days a week. |

| Tips, Hints, and Miscellaneous Information Best way to improve hill climbing on a trike: work on yourself rather than the trike by doing lunges three or four times a week. Here is one example: LUNGE The chain on your trike can last for several thousand miles--IF you lubricate it regularly. The number one reason why riding a trike may be safer than a two-wheeler is that, since you essentially don't have to watch the road surface you are free to watch everything and everyone around you. At the very least an enjoyable read, another reason may be found here: The Theory of Big If you must lock your trike for a relatively long period of time in an area not considered entirely safe, consider taking the seat or rear wheel with you. A would-be thief certainly wouldn't be able to ride it away. Do NOT use the handlebars to support your weight when getting in or out of your trike. They were not designed to be used in that way and damage may result. Use any other part of the trike or wheels to mount/dismount. |
