For those who don’t know or remember the history of TadpoleRider.com and the TadpoleRider Facebook Group I will share it here. I got into tadpole trikes back in 2007. At the time I first started looking online concerning tadpole trikes all I found was Steve Greene’s Trike Asylum blog. He had not had it all that long at that time. I started commenting on his blog and before long he contacted me asking me if I would be interested in being a contrubuting editor on Trike Asylum. I accepted and started writing articles weekly which he published. I think only about 2 or 3 months passed when I decided to step down from that position. Shortly afterwards I started up TadpoleRider.com. If my memory serves me correctly this was in 2009. I wrote articles and published them for about 9 months when I was having some serious vision problems in my life and I made the decision to discontinue TadpoleRider.com. I had put a whole lot of hard work and time into creating it. I did a very foolish and regretful thing. I also decided to delete the entire blog losing everything I had put into it. Of course, now I wish I had never deleted it but it is too late. It is gone forever. Later my eyesight improved and I made the decision to restart TadpoleRider.com.
I had been a member of various Facebook Groups which were about recumbent trikes. I made the decision to start my own FB Group which I called TadpoleRider. It grew very quickly becoming the 2nd largest FB group about recumbent trikes. I was sort of wore out and made the decision to dismantle the FB group and close it down entirely. In October 2019 I decided to start a FB group back up using the same name. It has been an altogether different story this time around as growth has been very slow. in 3 and 1/2 years it finally has gone over 1000 in membership … 1022 as I type this. The first time around the group had over 2600 members within just a few months so you can see there is considerable difference. Anyway, I am 76 years old now and still going strong. I don’t have any plans of shutting TadpoleRider.com or TadpoleRider FB group down even though I readily admit sometimes I feel sort of tapped out writing new articles on TadpoleRider.com. Writing is just something in my blood so I don’t expect to stop unless I am forced to.
I would like to see the FB group grow significantly more and much faster, but it is what it is and I have to accept that.
For what it is worth I have to say that I am beholding to Steve Greene for helping me get started in this.
