    What's your ride? Irvine Standard

    Irvine, CA - Monica McCarthy rides a recumbent Tricycle, which allows riders to recline and stretch their legs while pedaling.

    Why ride a recumbent tricycle? I’ve been riding bikes for 35 years. I used to ride a road bike all the time. I’d ride 50 miles every Saturday and Sunday. I’d go on biking trips. And if I had a day off, I’d ride with the Bicycle Club of Irvine.

    Three years ago, I felt a burning sensation in my neck and back, and tingling in my arms and hands. I had to stop riding. Then I tried a recumbent, which is easier on the back. It’s night and day. I was able to get back to riding with friends and the club.

    How did it change your life? I don’t have any more neck or knee issues. It was important for me not to give up things. This bike is a blessing. I named it “The Light at the End of the Tunnel.” I cannot ride like I used to anymore, but it helps me stay connected with people I care about.
