My wife has Multiple Sclerosis. We are very active in MS awareness and helping others that have it. Well a few years ago we were at a Disability Fest and got introduced to Sidewinder Trikes. On her upright 3 wheeler she doesn't have the strength to go from the street up a driveway to a sidewalk. But on her Sidewinder we haven't found a hill that can stop her.

In the process of trying to buy her a Sidewinder I ended up with a dealership. Sense then it has evolved into a recumbent bike business.

They say everything happens for a reason. I'm about ready to retire after being a Deputy Sheriff sense 76, thats 1976. So now I have my retirement business in place prior to pulling the plug. What a way to go.

We have several hundred miles of bike trails in Northern Idaho and Eastern Washington that are just fantastic trails. People come from all over the counrty to ride them. I can post some of the sites later so you will have an idea of what this area of the country is like.

Not to worry, I will be here as a rider, not a dealer. I don't like spam anymore than the next guy so I will not try to slip it in.

I'm ex-Navy and have been riding bikes sense the middle of the last century. Ohhhh that sounds bad.

Looking forward to chatting with everyone once in a while.

Our MS site is: www.mswobbles.com Just a heads up, it does have links to the business.

Hello there, and welcome to the forums.

I'm new to the NW area, and I've been very impressed with the cycling out here so far. I ride mountain bikes, and road, commuting, and for fun.

I haven't thought about recumbents that much, but I think I've heard of your business. Maybe someday I'll give it a try.
