I have written about this before but I did not have the personal experience then. It has turned hot here in northern Indiana recently. I am not a fan of hot weather. I hate it. In the past when it got hot outside I would start my rides earlier in the mornings so I could end by 11 AM or so … before the heat of the day really came on. As many of you know I installed a canopy on my trike just under 3 weeks ago. I have really been enjoying it. Today I got to try it out dealing with the summer heat. It is 87 right now (and climbing). I just got back home from a 43 mile ride where I remained out riding in the heat. Thanks to my canopy I remained fairly comfortable. Of course, I was riding 15 to 20 mph in order to create the breeze that helped keep me comfortable but the portable shade I had with me made a world of difference. There is no doubt about it. Mind you it is not the same as riding thru a well shaded area such as this …
ENJOY THE RIDE!
A FREE GIFT awaits you!

Some say that canopies from Ed are expensive. Poppycock! (Whatever that is) I am at an age whereby I DESERVE comfort. Love to ride and my mind and body benefit immensely. In Tucson I have friends who have suffered heat stroke. Another has skin cancer (me too). So let’s wisely factor in the costs of hospital or doctor visits plus the costs of shortened rides because your face is on 🔥 fire. Riding my trike is more like navigating some futuristic vehicle because of my canopy. And, everyone who sees my trike wishes it was theirs. Totally worth it. E-assist is next.
