But in 1938, this was banned due to its unsportsman advantage.

One, trike fit. A trike that properly fits you are essential. Trikes that does not properly fit can end you up with issues like knee pains. It is important to have the correct boom length to have the proper leg extension. Local bike shops can help in getting you the perfect fit. After getting the correct adjustment, test it by going for a short ride, then reevaluate the fit again.

Two, start out slow. Anything new should be taken out slowly. Take your time, do not rush things. The first rides must be slow and only short since you are getting to know your new tricycle. The leg position and knee position will be different from a normal bike, so you may find some issues at first like using different muscles.

If that is the case, then you will surely feel that the trike was made just for you, no knee or leg pain, only the feeling of comfort is felt.

A helmet is essential and this should be worn when riding at all times. Helmets have different sizes so you would have to find the right fit for you.

Six, sun protection. Compared to upright bikes, you are going to be exposed in the sun more with this. Make sure you use some sun protection like sunblock and clothing with sun protection.
