…
Early last year, a neighbor on FB posting her red tricycle (Schwinn? couldn’t remember the brand) for sale, for $250, with very little mileage on it.
I haven’t bought a bike in a few decades. So I looked on Amazon and found a couple of good looking bikes for about $300.
My mistake #1 is not knowing anything about tricycle market and wanting to buy; #2 when would one buy thing from lower end?!?
I committed to all of the above lol
Many neighbors bought their bikes, especially tri on Craig’s List (still going strong, apparently!)
Unbeknown to me, the $300+ amazon bike came UNassembled – I was wondering how would amazon ship the tri.
The instruction is generic and very unhelpful. I got lost after step 2.
SO … little Irene called a bike shop to come to assemble. The cost? As much as the bike itself. Hey … I got to visit the mobile bike shop. It’s pretty cool.
… And, it goes very slow, no matter how hard I paddle.
Ok, the bottom line, or the only point I could praise my bike, is, it has two baskets (adding a basket is easy …), SO … it’s my SUV to travel cross country!!! Oh boy… self pacifying.
