Greenspeed-like trike Gets a Bigger Wheel!

X-Attachments:
Want a made in America Greenspeed-like trike that features the only
26" rear wheel in its class? If so, the famous Trimuter (made formerly
made by Wicks Aircraft) just got better. Jerome Hediger, the man who
rode a Wicks SWB Hed Turner in the Des Moines to Boulder leg of our NBG
2002 Mayors' Ride
(http://www.bikeroute.com/SCNBGFest/BoulderRecep.htm) , left Wicks so
he can concentrate on building even better Trimuters and Hed Turners.
And one of the first things he set out to do , he has accomplished.

Build a trike with a 26" rear wheel!!

He tells me that the bike absorbs road shock better and that it rolls
faster with a little bit less effort. Already his customers have told
him they prefer the sexier look of the bigger wheeled trike in three
out of every four purchase exchanges. Add the proven great ride and
handling of American made Greenspeed-like trikes and this trike comes
away a big winner worthy of your consideration. Go to:

btw: A picture of his beautiful machine, along with other fun bent
factoids can be found in the blog at our recumbent site:

Ever wanted anything so bad U were willing to die for it?
Really die? By moving thru clinical death and reversing
paralysis, *I saw God* when I answered that question.

It always makes me cringe when I see advertisements that try to link
sex with just about any product that can be sold - but it's especially
disturbing when the customers do it on their own! Honestly, just how
does a 26" wheel make a recumbent trike look "sexier"? And which sex are
we referring to? And is it human or something else?
If any part of a bicycle/tricycle makes you think of sex, maybe
you're getting too much of one and not enough of the other.

Where do you think new bikes and trikes come from? The story about them
being manufactured by people is a lie told by the manufacturers so the
can charge more money.

P.S. The best performing bikes and trikes are those that were raised
under free-range conditions.

That is false, several studies have shown genetically enhanced recumbents
are far faster than free-range and have much stronger frames although the
rider does risk a slight increase of cancer and/or brain tumors

Not to mention the possibility that all that indiscriminant "breeding" on
the open-range can result in offspring that resemble a Revive....

Larry,

I'm not an art aficionado, but the concept of art is to produce a feeling or
emotion from the beholder. One of the strongest emotion we have as humans
is sex. I agree that using adjectives such as 'sexy' might be bit
misleading and abused. However, there is one underplayed emotion that any
successful trike should invoke, and that is 'envy'.

I can see "envy", in the sense that we might envy someone who owns
such-and-such trike. And I'm not denigrating the appearance of trikes
with the large rear wheel - a friend of mine had a fairly old Trice, and
I loved the way that big wheel was just about at the level of the riders
head - reminded me of some of the old Formula One race cars, with the
air intakes for the carbs just behind the driver.
I could just imagine that I was Jim Clark in his Lotus, sitting on
that trike. But did it arouse something sexual, that big wheel? Did it
stir some deep, dark feelings regarding sex? Not consciously, anyway.
I'm not even sure just which sex some people are referring to, when they
say something like that is "sexy". Is it male or female?
And now I'm thinking all kinds of weird thoughts about those big
wheels. Calling Dr. Freud!

Sexy is often used to describe cars and motorcycles (not just by the ad
agencies) that have flowing lines and look 'symetrical' to the eye. I think
the comparison is to the flowing lines that define a sexy woman's form.
It's well known that 'most' men are instinctively attracted to a women with
a certain hip to shoulder(?) ratio that suggests a healthy body for child
bearing.

Big wheel envy? Bigger is better? Will I start getting spam about a
patch I can put on a 20" wheel to make it bigger?

No! No! No!

Small wheels are better.
