Trike Talkin with Grizzly Granny
United States
Приєднався 16 жов 2023
Join me, the REAL Grizzly Granny, as I ride my recumbent Sunseeker CSX "Fat Tad" trike, usually with my husband and team mate, Gary. We are active seniors of the "Boomer" generation...navigating life's speed bumps. There will be related discussions, demos, and of course, trail adventures-- as well as story telling and my favorite recumbent trike accessory hacks. My riding philosophy is, "Safety, Comfort, & Kindness", and I will be also be discussing these subjects in my videos. Although my channel is for everyone, it is "geared" for senior women, women who are new to recumbent trikes, or women who are just desperately looking for a new way to exercise and enjoy the outdoors in these difficult and stressful times.

📢MY NEW CHANNEL! Hey guys, pop on over to my Community Tab and read the announcement about my new channel, "Life Talkin with Grizzly Granny"! New channel link: www.youtube.com/@LifeTalkinWithGrizzlyGranny Would appreciate a Thumbs Up and a Subscribe! Blessings, GG
I definitely miss our fall weather-what a great ride!
I do too! So crisp, warm, and the sunshine and fresh air are so rejuvenating! Thanks for watching, Andrea! I see you have an awesome channel...will be checking it out! Blessings, GG
What awesome scenery-Colorado is so beautiful in the fall. 🍁 Fun music selection, to boot!
Thank you for watching! Agreed on the scenery that Colorado offers! Appreciate your comments on the music...I do try to put thought into choosing the songs. Blessings for the new year! --G.G.
What a nice trail! I'm in the Pacific Northwet, and I hate riding in wind, too, and I won't go when it's been raining. 😆 😆 fussy me. But I am heading to Arizona for a couple of weeks to hopefully solve the problem.
GREAT plan! We used to live in Phoenix! I hear there is a great trail in Tucson...Let me know how it goes! Blessings, G.G.
Please tell us about your padded trike seats and lumbar cushion. Thanks for the beautiful fall colors!
Hello! Thanks for that really important (to us, anyway) question. I got the SI (sacroiliac) cushion for my Trike at Walmart where the car/automotive supplies are. It is super squishy, but with some support. I purchased the lumbar cushion on Amazon. If you read the description of the "Autumn Ride Adventures" video, *️⃣I have included the links there for you...I use a different (Amazon) SI cushion for my car and for my desk chair. The Amazon SI cushion is lovely, but a lot firmer. It has a side handle so I can carry it to Dr. appointments, restaurants, etc. We love the extra padding in the seats and lumbar support on our trikes, especially on long rides! Thanks so much for taking time to watch and for the question. Happy (and comfy) riding in 2025! Blessings, G.G.
@@TrikeTalkinWithGrizzlyGranny Thanks for the info! The lumbar support link is not working. If you look at it, it's not to a specific product, but to search order history for lumbar support.
Hello! I just placed a new link there and checked to make sure it worked! Thanks for the head's up and so sorry you have had to wait all these days. I cannot get into comments every day, so appreciate your patience! Evidently they are not selling that black model anymore. When I put the link in the video, I double checked and it was still available on Amazon, but not today. They are supposed to let me know if items we have listed are no longer available. Blessings for a beautiful week-end! G.G.
Hey, Happy New Year to you both 🎉 Good looking ride and totally agree about how lucky we are! Still 2025 is scarry, as we only have our Earned Social Security Retirement Incomes to live on and it seems the Republican Party is serious about shutting down Social Security! We will be homeless and broke and will have to sell everything or give it away to clear out the apartment before our 30 day rent runs out! Hopefully it won't happen, it's our only hope! Otherwise we are well and happy, hope all is well with you these days!😊 All the best!
Hey, OAAOTR! Great to hear from you guys! We are in the same situation with the SS...but I never believe what any talking heads say from either side of the aisle. The LORD has not let us down yet! We are so glad to be alive and functioning! Days are getting longer and looking forward to lots of rides this year! Stay well and celebrate 2025 with every breath and heartbeat!😊🫁💓
@TrikeTalkinWithGrizzlyGranny Thanks, the same to both of you, all the best 👍 😁
Alyn Wolf here. Good to see you two back on the road again. I do ride year around although I try to accommodate for the heat and cold. In the summer, I ride in the morning to escape the heat. In the winter, I may only ride during the middle of the day to miss the colder part of the day. And, I'm still riding the Greenspeed trike for the hilly or longer rides and the two wheeler for the flats. It's strange, but my age of 81 does not slow me down much although I do better cycling than I do walking. 😂
Hi, Alyn! Great to hear from you! I am glad you can ride mostly year round. Our schedule here has been nuts. Some gorgeous fall days, but we had other commitments, and were not able to ride as much as we'd like. Surgerys coming up early in the year, so anxious to see how fast we can get back out there. All the best! G.G.
@TrikeTalkinWithGrizzlyGranny well, just ride when you can and enjoy the moment. Take care of those surgeries
Nice to see your video! We have been sidelined for awhile now. Jack had retina surgery; therefore we could not ride. I’m taking a vacation with my cousin in January. Hopefully, we can ride some before I have a bone spur removed from my toe in February. By late March, I should be ready to ride again. We have take care of our aging bodies!
Joanne! NOOOOO! I hear you! I have two surgeries coming early in the year and Gary has 1. Oh well, you are so right. The word of the day is, "MAINTENANCE"! Keep up the good humor and do the repairs...it will make it a better ride in the long run! Thanks so much for watching and updating me. Blessings for a HEALTHY New Year! --G.G.
Trying this coment again. Got a trident terrain 26 with a number of upgrades. Rear wheel swapped out and upgraded with a box 9 11-50 Ortleib backroller plus panneirs. Got a veltop I mount in summer,. 26x4.0 tires float over sand, snow, gravel. Got a trailer with 3.0 x 16 tires for grocery runs, but way too easy to overpack for camping. Running mirrcycle bar end mirrors in the handlebars. Veltop windshield and top out of Eyrope I run in the summer.
Wow! You've got a great set up for adventures on your trike. You sound like you're ready for any terrain! Nice rig! Happy Triking in 2025!
Northern Michigan , Grand Lake. I’m pricing out that same trike in Dearborn Michigan. I’m checking out your upgrades. Thanks
Please let me know if you have any questions! I did research and only got the basics that would extend the life and durability of my trike. 😊G.G.
Rattle has been mitigated! After some troubleshooting, we decided it was actually my headlight starting to rattle. Gary stuck a piece of rubber under it, and voila! Rattle gone. Next video should be rattle-less. Thanks for putting up with that sound for the last two vids! Blessings, Grizzly Granny P.S. A very blessed New Year to everyone! Trike ON!
Hi, just came across your video and i'm thrilled. I am a 77 yo widow thats about to buy a trike for me and my dog.......still looking to make a decision, i live in Colorado Spring, hope to see you on the road
Depending on the weather, we MAY try to ride the "Motorless Morning" in the spring of 2025 at the Garden of the Gods. Here is a video on our ride: If it all works out, its an awesome ride, and we would love to connect with you there! Thanks for watching and commenting...I am soooo pumped for you...you will love this trike. If you can swing it, get an electric option. On hill it is a gamechanger. Love my "turbo boost" on steep hills. Paid our dues in our youth. You can ride with or without the electric assist depending on the type you get. Nice to have options. ua-cam.com/video/0ano6qfl-Wc/v-deo.htmlsi=SQCuo6IDxiQkdt_Y Blessings, GG
Hi love your video, the explanations behind every place, the music, etc. Question What kind of Trike do you ride?
Thanks for watching and your question! It's a SunSeeker CSX Fat Tad from Utah Trikes. We were able to start with their basic Fat Tad and make our modifications in the order. Trike arrived within 2 weeks. You can change the color, and that will add some time to the process. I got the stock color with is beautiful. If you watch the "My Story" video, it gives you some info. One thing that was so important to us was the suspension that comes on these trikes at a reasonable price...at least compared to other trikes. We also wanted the Fat Tads, because we live on country dirt/gravel roads, and also want to ride in the snow/ice this winter. Blessings, GG
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 I will keep you in my prayers.
Thank YOU for watching, and most especially for your prayers. I will also pray for you as well! Happy triking and be safe out there. Blessings, GG🙏
Thank you.😊
Up here in Canada, southern Ontario, Im hoping to get a couple more rides before that 4 letter word SNOW arrives.
I hear you! Here in CO, we have many sunny days in the winter, between storms. We can usually get a few rides in on those days. That is one reason we got the SunSeeker CSX Fat Tads, so we can ride on our country dirt roads, and also in the snow and ice. Happy triking up there, 🥶❄️and stay safe! Blessings, G.G.
I try to ride year around
Love it! What part of the country do you live in?
In the Grand Rapids Michigan
Sorry in that area
WOW! Amazing! Well, keep warm, and I wish you many sunny winter days up there!
Still ridding off and on between cold fronts and snow showers!
Copy that! Same here...but have missed a lot of really nice days due to schedule this fall it seems! We can always count on you two to "keep on trikin"!--Blessings, GG
Great to see you back doing vids! We always enjoyed Cherry Creek Trail, all the best, Happy upcoming Holiday Season 👍😊
Have Blessed and wonderful Holidays...will be watching your channel for winter rides!
Nice ride, nice trail, nice visit. Thanks for sharing. Also have lots of good luck with your medical adventures!
Wayne! How are YOU doing? Thank for riding along, and for the good wishes! Life is GOOD! --Blessings, GG
I’m so glad to see this wonderful video as I was thinking of you just the other day! I was hoping that you were doing fine. So, I’m sorry to hear about your recent health concerns. However, it is the season of Thanksgiving and I am thankful for your positive attitude & comments! We have had a very warm & dry October here in the north Dallas area. Jack & I have been able to take many rides here & in Arkansas also. We were so excited that we could meet & ride with Roosevelt, The Southern Triker! I will be raising you up in prayer! Keep us posted.
So thankful you and Jack can still be out triking! We are hoping for some sunny Rocky Mountain days this winter so we can get out there as often as possible! So cool you got to ride with The Southern Triker! And....prayers are SOOOO appreciated. Please include Gary if you can. He is dealing with some new health challenges as well. I am going to pray for you two right now. Thanks for coming along on our ride! --Blessings, GG 🙏
Loved your video.
Hi, Vicki! I am glad you enjoyed the adventure!-GG
You do not look 72. I sent a video to my wife she said you look 50
Helmets and sunglasses help! Your wife sounds like a sweet lady!--GG
At 70 years old I rember most things you bring up
It is 73, now, and love it when people can relate to things in and around our generation! (Getting more rare...)-GG
My donkey and goat are a pair
Miss our donkeys so...how old is your donkey? I am glad they have a friend in each other. Hate to see a lone donkey on a property. -GG
That would be called a cloud of grasshoppers.
At times on the trail, it WAS a cloud! Thanks for watching, and have a great week!-GG
You sound like a very pleasant lady
Thanks for watching! -GG
Thanks for sharing!
We did not get to ride on this year's fall ride. Looking forward to the one next spring!--GG
Hello Grizzly Granny - I just found and subscribed to your channel. Could you tell me which handlebar bags you purchased from Amazon that you use for side bags? I think they will work well for me. Thank you!
Hi, Bob! Hey, I just checked and Amazon says they are no longer available. The brand was, "Bike Route 67". I also checked their Ebay store and they had a photo, but they were listed as not available. Gary has the Royalfair waterproof front handlebar bag, and it looks like Amazon has those in stock. He has used his over a year and they have held up well. He has the same trike, so these may fit. We modified the straps and used velcro to attach to our bike frames in the area just under the seat cushion. You have some color options including black. Here is the link: www.amazon.com/dp/B0C5D1SBVR?psc=1&ref_=cm_sw_r_apin_ct_SXVBF8YN7AYKCS2GKVQC&language=en_US
My chain gets dry lube at anytime I can hear it. On my Terratrike Path I see I have run the chain through the idlers wrong according to what I see in your video. Will change that soon.
I don't know if that idler position is universal on all recumbents, so maybe check with Terratrike just to be sure...? This is the only brand I have had so far, and my husband's is in the same position. So appreciate you watching! Happy triking! Blessings, GG
OMG !!! Where is this trail at ???? I would be absolute heaven to have such a nice long ......wide trail is that to ride on.........nothing like that where I live.
Cherry Creek Trail....it runs from Franktown, CO all the way up to Denver, about 45 miles or so We like the areas that have more trees. It is really well kept and almost all paved. Thanks for watching! Blessings, GG
One item I carry that you did not mention is a tick removing tool. This tool is also good for bee stingers, as it does not sqeeze the poison sac as the stinger comes out. Also, thanks for sharing.
You are absolutely RIGHT! We don't have a lot of ticks in our area, so I did not think to mention that...for folks in other areas of the country. But, we certainly have bees! Good catch. Thank you so much for watching, and pointing that out. Happy triking, and be safe out there! Blessings, GG
Great suggestions!
Thanks, Joanne! Hope all is well with you! Be safe and happy triking. Blessings, GG
Great video! First time viewer and now subscriber here. That was a swarm of grasshoppers. We had them so bad in Texas one year, the ground looked like waves. My GoPro Hero 8 Black stops recording sometimes as well. I turned off the voice control. Maybe you would benefit from a remote for your GoPro. Amazon has the GoPro brand for $78 and aftermarket ones for $32. That way you could deactivate voice control, but still be able to control the camera with it being out of reach. I look forward to watching more of y’all’s videos 😉✌️.
You are right! Since we stopped using voice commands, it has not happened again. Thanks for the info on the remote. Happy triking, and thanks for watching!--GG
What kind of radios do you use?
We use Arcshell 5 walkie talkies and they are AWESOME! Please watch my video on "Trike Talkin--My Favorite Communications Gear" where I talk about them in depth! The thumbnail has the little kid on the big wheel. They are wonderful on the trial and more. They are so inexpensive, we thought they were too good to be true, but after 6 or 7 years of use they are still doing great! Thanks for watching!--Blessings, GG
@@TrikeTalkinWithGrizzlyGranny Thank forf the info
I like to visit Colorado Springs ❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂 please Is Beautiful
Imagine a solid foundation frame that has the ability to add solar roof, sails for both land sailing and water sailing if attach a keel on the bottom & 2 big floaters on the sides. Also, the same frame can be use for a flying trike if you attach wings and motor. Can also be used on a train track if swap out wheels & axles, or sled skiing in snows with those huskies pulling it. Can be hooked on an elevator system while with you inside to get up buildings or even a gondola lift to cross mountains, ALL USING A UNIVERSAL SAME FRAME!
I used to remove my chain and soak it it melted wax. Everything stayed very clean but I am not that ambitious anymore. I don't even have a support. I just run the chain backwards a few times, then use a paper towel to clean off the excess.
You know, I have never heard of that technique! And yes, let's just keep it simple! Thanks for watching and commenting! Blessings, G.G.
Wonderful video! Thanks for the information.
Thanks, Joanne! I used to just let Gary do all those things, and as we grow older, I want to be able to have those things in my own, life's skill set. Appreciate you watching and taking time to comment. Hope all is well with you! --Blessings, GG
So cool and so beautiful, great video thanks for sharing. My wife just got a new trike!! Azure Fly Ti 26 can’t wait to go on adventures 😊
That sounds awesome! Maybe we'll see you guys out there one day.... Have a blast!--Congrats!--GG
thats my next trike a fat tire one .
What do you ride now?
@@TrikeTalkinWithGrizzlyGranny I have a cheep kent trike 20 inch .
I just started recording my rides . I hope i do well at it you're good at it . I'm hoping i can do the same .
You can do this! Just experiment and see what set ups and gear you like the best. As you can see, it is always a "work in progress"....GG
that's a 40 mile bike bath thats nice . i would love that bring lunch and ride . where i live i need to use the road . we have a rail trail but atv's use it and it's not good for trikes .
That's really sad that you have a rail trail, but do not have good access to it. We are looking at riding the Mickelson Rail Trail in the Black Hills soon...it is well maintained and I have never seen any ATVs on it. Don't think they allow anything motorized, except for e-bikes/trikes which are allowed on it...of course pedestrians, etc are as well...and possibly horses. They have volunteers on bikes called the "Trail Patrol" that monitor such things as well as safety issues or if anyone is in distress. Love that. Very well organized and run. --GG
Hello friend I love travels by trike I live in Brazil end zi want to go to Alaska by trike I want to see you please
We hope you get to make that trip some day!--G.G.
Grasshoppers should be good food -lots of proteine... 😝🙄😉 nice trip ..!
So true...a good way to think about this! Thanks for watching, and Happy Triking!--GG
The grasshoppers have been all over the area trails here too. It's been a long time since we rode the Cherry Creek Trail.
They have just decimated the few yard plants we had this year, and it's a challenge to walk on our driveway or paths to get to the car! My son just stopped by, and after some time, I noticed a big one just sitting on his shoulder...he hitchhiked inside the house. Do you know where we could rent some chickens? (Just kidding, LOL)--GG
Played Disc Golf for years, we have several good courses here in town. It's FUN and the disc flies into the winds, just like golf, different disc's do different things, putters, drivers etc.
Really?! You guys are so talented. It sounds really fun and interesting. Thanks for responding and sharing this info!--Happy Triking!
Nice ride! I am thankful you didn’t swallow one of those grasshoppers! 🤣🤣
TOTALLY could have happened...especially while I was talking (or screaming, LOL) Thanks for watching! Have a good one! -GG
How do u like the Fat Tads?
We LOVE them. My husband waited a long time to get his, as he was always a 2 wheel purist...my term. When we found one here locally he purchased it and now he is a believer! We ride these on dirt roads often, and LOVE that suspension. The fat tires do great off road (watch out for the goat heads...) and also we started riding in the snow last year. They do really well. I call them a cross between a Jeep Wrangler and a Cadillac. You might check out my first video for more info. Thanks for watching! Blessings, GG
We love them! Great suspension...we ride on country roads, off road, and on snow. Cross between a Jeep Wrangler and a Cadillac. You might check out my first video entitled, "My Story....." Blessings, GG
I have left 3 replies, and they are not showing up! Gotta love the internet. We LOVE them! Great suspension. We ride on country dirt roads, off road, and also in the snow. Very comfortable. To me they are a cross between a Jeep Wrangler and a Cadillac. You might check out my first video, "My Story...Why a Recumbent Trike". Blessings, GG
Please tell us what trail you are riding. I will be in Colorado later this year and want to ride some of them
Cherry Creek Trail! Some really pretty areas, and some areas of the Cherry Creek trail are more out in the wide open spaces without trees. It's a really long trail, and runs from south of Parker, CO all the way up to downtown Denver. Check it out online! Let us know when you are going to be in Colorado. 😎 🌄 Happy Trails!--GG
Late September or early October. When are the best Fall colors? Don and Ruth Ann, Mississippi
Hi, Don & Ruth Ann! Great timing for your trip! Depends where in Colorado you will be visiting. Northern Colorado, the Front Range Foothills, the Western Slope, the High Mountains, and the Southern Mountain ranges all vary slightly, but generally Mid to late Sept. and some areas into early October. There are many websites that will give you maps for the best times to see the leaves change depending on the geographical area, if you can do an internet search. You probably know, our weather can change here quickly, so build in extra time for that if you can. --GG
Our daughter likes in Aurora but we like to come down to the Colorado Springs area as well.
It might depend on how fast you are riding but does wind noise over those Shoulder Mics ever make it hard to hear or understand each other?
You are correct! If it is a really windy day, as we have often here in this area of the Rocky Mountains, we may change the position of the shoulder mic. It has not happened often, but if the wind begins to interfere with our radio transmissions, then we reposition as necessary on our trike, or even to our clothing in the neck area somewhere. This works fine for us. Good point!--GG
Great Video. Yeah I have used walkie talkies for a while riding with my trike friends. I have used more expensive and complicated GMRS radios because I like to tinker with them and do other things with them, but GMRS works with the same frequencies that the FRS radios (like the ones you are using) use. So some of our riders can use inexpensive radios and still listen and transmit to the GMRS radios. I will suggest these radios you recommended to some of our other riders who dont want to mess with more complicated ones!
Yes...for those that just want a simple, sturdy and reliable radio, these have stood the test of time, trails, and tumbles🥴. Blessings, GG
You're back!
I keep returning between procedures this year! You know, 90% of life is just "keep showing up"! Possibly one more, and that should be it, I HOPE & PRAY! 🙄 Sure makes me appreciate the rides a little more! Happy triking! Blessings-GG
