Snow cycling? Recumbent trikes and a sledge! | RECUMBENT TRIKE family vlog | Steintrikes Wild One

The first snow is finally here! We used the opportunity to try out our Steintrikes Wild Ones in the snow, and have fun sledging with the kids! Snow cycling is not always easy, especially on a standard upright bike, so we again appreciated the stability that trikes give!
In this recumbent trike vlog, we take you to Dunavac (a Danube arm in Novi Sad, sometimes also called Šodroš) on our Steintrikes Wild One trikes and we change our usual Croozer Kid for 2 trailer for a sledge for the kids. Often we don't have to go far to have a great family adventure!
Location: Novi Sad
Filmed: January 2021
Trikes: Steintrikes Wild One x2

I am thoroughly enjoying your trike videos. It’s clear that you love triking, and you bring your kids - very cool. Your videos give me the sense of being on a trike and a sense of your country, the scenery and weather, history and culture, and of your personalities. Also they always bring me smiles. Well done. All I knew of Serbia was news stories of violence and conflict, of NATO bombings in the 90s. Thanks to your lovely trike trip videos I now know there is much more to your country than the headlines told, for I have now seen friendly people in a beautiful country which has good roads and trails for cycling. Thank you.

[@bici.family]

Thank you very much! It is true, many people know our country only from the news from the 90s, and even if over 20 years have passed since then, we still sometimes get questions if we have a normal situation here 😀 I'm really glad you like our videos, we like to share our experiences and hopefully promote this lifestyle as a healthier and more fun way of living, and traveling, especially in a world full of cars that we have today.

[@archertyro6481]

Kids know efficiency! They had fun ridin’ the rack and Mom and Dad found more traction...awesome.

[@bici.family]

It is always important to find a win-win solution! 🙂

[@wtopp345985]

I didn't think you all could do it with skinny tires, but the extra weight over the back wheel and the "chains" turned the tide. Well done.

[@rangerk9]

to great parents getting their children out and about no matter the weather! Great teamwork, too. This is how humans are meant to live. Good on you all!

[@gmaneis]

Your trike riding adventures are always a lot of fun to watch, and as usual, you all looked like you were having a great time! You are hardy souls, indeed, to ride when it's that cold. I would be putting my trike on the roller device in the warm house. I am sure your children, when they are old, will have big smiles on their faces when they remember those days when they were little and their wonderful parents took them out for all those beautiful rides and so much fun! Stay safe and thank you again for sharing.

[@bici.family]

Thank you for your kind comment! It really means a lot to us 😊

[@stevenewbauer225]

I thoroughly enjoyed watching your trike video seeing your family enjoying the ride.

[@wilsgrant]

I hope I'm this cool when I have kids

[@kewis619]

I absolutely love what you are doing with your family and trikes!! Your English is beautiful!! I look forward to seeing many more of your adventures!!

[@bici.family]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@Vegan_Touring_Cyclist]

Multicultural. Serbian, Hungarian, English. This is good for the kids! I would live to try out sledding, I have a cargo trike, it should work too.

[@bici.family]

Thank you! You noticed well, we are a bilingual Serbian - Hungarian family, and we also speak some French sometimes (we lived in France for a year). 😂 The kids don't learn English yet, but we like to have this multicultural feeling in the family and hopefully, it will be normal for them to learn more languages as they grow. You should definitely try with the cargo if you have the opportunity, I imagine it would be fun! Üdv!

[@alistairriggs5911]

just wanted to add we had snow last night so up and out on the trike great fun nice fresh snow with no other markes in it did just over six miles climbed a couple of hill with no slipping great fun

[@bici.family]

Oh cool! I love that feeling when you're out in the fresh snow and leaving the first marks!

[@marceloescobedo7967]

Buenas tardes soy de Perú, muy bonito y emocionado, que vehículos tan increíbles

[@bici.family]

Thank you! 😊

[@marceloescobedo7967]

Buenas tardes gracias por su tiempo

[@wendellbailey6394]

I so enjoy each and every one of your videos. Somehow I miss this one. This is my favorite video you've made so far. It looked like you and your family were just having so much fun. I wish my children were still small. Well at least sometimes I wish not always. It's great that they're growing up and have their own children. I've only been riding a trike since March but have been following you and your family for quite some time. Thanks for taking the time and sharing you bring a smile to me every time. I hope the new baby that you let us know is on the way we'll be part of your films in the future. Can always use another movie star. Hopefully in a month or two I'll have a camera and can maybe share some beautiful videos also. If you have a recommendation of cameras I would love to have you share it so I would know how to get started. Thanks again much love and thoughts towards you and your family. My wife's from donets in eastern Ukraine. And so many of the places and things I see in your video bring back special fun memories. Once again thanks have a wonderful day and I'm going to go back and watch this one more time it's a great video. Bye-bye for now Wendell

[@joequinn9743]

Love your videos! This is the first time I have seen Trikes in the snow! We had snow here in Missouri this week and I was thinking about trying to ride in the snow but I haven't. Thanks for sharing about your family adventures.

[@bici.family]

Thank you!!! You can indeed ride them in any weather and on any kind of terrain 😂

[@brucefarrar300]

What a fun family you are. Your family and my family would be good friends if you lived by us. My children with their children have fun adventures like you. They do not have trikes but they do many other fun things in the out of doors. Thanks for making your videos.

[@bici.family]

Thank you very much! We love our trikes but also other fun things outdoors - for us, it is always great to get out and also to spend time with the kids 😊 We hope to motivate others to join us and maybe try out some new things as well.

[@stein-trikes]

Thanks for this great video! You're really brave going out on minus five. I don't even take the garbage out when it's that cold. 🤣🤣🤣

[@bici.family]

Hahaha 😂 It's not easy to convince yourself to go out, but then when you're already there it's highly probable that you'll enjoy it!

[@Tranquility-Base_on_the_move]

Nice to see you all have so much fun in the snow. It gave me a BIG smile on the end of this day. This video reminds me of that time that I went for a ride in the snow on my trike. It is indeed a lot of fun, and you can't fall off the bike. You also can make a nice 90 degree turn just by using the brake on the back wheel ;-) (like using the handbrake on a car) I also remember when I was young and went to school on my normal bike, one day in winter my father put bikechains on the tires. It had incredible grip on an icy road, but not so much fun in the snow because all the snow got stuck in the chain. Nice use of the trapeze ! So thanks for the video, thumbs up (I have already subscribed and hit the notification bell) and I'll see you in the next video.

[@bici.family]

Thank you very much for your comment! That is exactly what we are aiming for - to give people some smiles! 😊 If we'll have more snow this year, we might try the handbrake thing - although without the kids probably! 😄

[@charlespark7338]

That looks great fun . The Kids looked like they were having a great time, but I would have liked to see bike helmets for all. It must be nice to have the opportunity to ride in snow and not have cars to worry about. Keep enjoying your Trikes. Stay safe 👍😀❄️❄️

[@bici.family]

Thank you for your comment! It's true, bike helmets are not that common around here, we usually use them only when going out of town. However, we almost always put them on for the kids - but this time it was not possible to put them over their winter hats 😄

[@mohdsabreeyacob348]

Great video and very cool days, the kids is so happy. No snow in Malaysia at all. Be safe and cool out there. From Malaysia.

[@bici.family]

Thank you! It is also not that common to have snow over here, but we usually do have it once or twice a year. We were lucky that it was on a weekend, and we could use the opportunity to get outside before it melted!

[@mohdsabreeyacob348]

@@bici.family Be safe out there.

[@rdkuless]

Schwalbe makes Winter Marathon studed tires.. (expensive) or I just use multiple large ZIP Ties wrapped around the wheel and tire and pull it tight.

[@bici.family]

Thank you for your suggestions! As you can see, we have only the slick tires, but in fact, for most days that is enough for us, the snow is very rare where we are (usually once or twice a year so we were very happy to have the opportunity to test riding in snow 😀)

[@daliborkirin2615]

Kad ideš na brijeg moraš ići u puno manjoj brzini. Da ti kotač ne okrene. Napravili ste dobar video.👍👍

[@bici.family]

Haham da, u suštini znam, u teoriji, ali u tom momentu se nisam snašla na vreme, a i na tom mestu je već dosta njih prošlo pa su utabali sneg i već se bilo zaledilo pa je jako klizalo. Na drugom "bregu" je već bilo sve ok 😉

[@alistairriggs5911]

that looked great fun wish we had snow instead of rain

[@bici.family]

Thank you! We have also been having rain and really ugly weather in the past few weeks, it was a delight to have the temperatures get in the snow range to allow forming of the snow cover, even if it only lasted for a few days.

[@tidjydu5754]

Hello ! Bonjour, Olivier pour me présenter ! Un petit coucou de France, vous êtes un couple super sympa ! Je découvre le trike et regarde beaucoup de vidéos avant d'investir car cela m'intéresse beaucoup ! Je ne comprend pas l'anglais, mais j'adore vos vidéos ! Continuez ! Gros bisous !

[@tidjydu5754]

Magnifique de vous voir avec votre petite famille, ce qu'il y a de bien c'est qu'au travers de vos différents voyages vos enfants vont être très ouverts d'esprit !

[@bici.family]

Bonjour ! Et merci pour vos commentaires ! Si cela peut vous aider à mieux comprendre nos vidéos, il y a une option de traduire automatiquement les sous-titres sur youtube. Sinon, si quelque chose vous intéresse en particulier, je reste à votre disposition pour toutes questions (même si mon français n'est pas le meilleur, mais j'essaye). 😂 Je dois ajouter qu'on adore la France, on a habité à Grenoble pendant une année en 2019, et on a également parcouru à velo l'itineraire d'Eurovelo 6 de Moulhouse à Pornic en 2013, et une partie de la ViaRhona (Grenoble - Sète) en 2019 avec les enfants (c'était notre premier voyage à vélo en famille). J'espère que la situation covid s'améliorera bientôt et que nous pourrons à nouveau voyager à l'étranger, et bien sûr on a déjà des idées pour y faire une boucle en France. À bientôt !

[@tidjydu5754]

@@bici.family Wouahou ! J'étais justement en train de regarder vos vidéos ! Content d'avoir de vos nouvelles, et que vous ayez visiter la France , qui est aussi un magnifique pays, (montagnes, plaine, mer) "tout en un quoi" ! Si vous avez écrit vous même en français, il est excellent ! Très bientôt en retraite, je vais donc investir dans un trike et petite question, vue votre expérience, quel développement avez-vous ? Personnellement je prendrais un pédalier de : 48 36 26, et une cassette de : 11 13 15 17 19 21 24 28 34, car je n'ais pas envie d'une assistance électrique, qu'en pensez-vous ?

[@bici.family]

@@tidjydu5754 Bonjour ! Je ne pourrais pas vous recommander le développement idéal, mais je peux vous dire le notre situation: Endre a le pédalier de 44/32/22 dents, avec une cassette de 11 - 34; et moi, j'ai un pédalier mono de 34 dents, mais avec un moyeu Sturmey Archer 3 vitesses qui a des ratios suivants: 0.75x, 1x, 1.33x (donc ça me donne pareil comme si j'avais un pédalier de 25/34/45 dents), et cela aussi avec une cassette de 11 - 34. Si vous êtes intéressé par les détails de nos trikes, vous pouvez également regarder notre dernière vidéo "Steintrikes Wild One Review | Our recumbent trikes in detail", où je montre comment ils sont construits, et les détails d'équipement qu'on utilise.

Dobra ideja...

[@bici.family]

Hvala, imali smo sreće da je bio vikend, pa smo bili svi kod kuće i mogli smo od ranog jutra da izađemo na svež sneg.

[@tri-seeker2753]

Put some knobby tires on the rear wheel. Triking on snow is a pain mostly for two reasons 1) high resistance, as you are going through deep snow with three (small) wheels 2) lack of traction on the wheel that suppose to push you forward IDK about your wheelsize, but I have very good experiences with SmartSam from Schwalbe - knobby for digging into the snow but also with full line in the center for good rolling on hard surfaces...

[@trikepedaler]

Cool Videos, where are you guys? I don't recognize the language, but I know your husband spoke Hungarian .

[@bici.family]

Hi and thank you! We are in Novi Sad, Serbia (Újvidék in Hungarian). We speak both Serbian and Hungarian. 🙂

[@marceloescobedo7967]

Disculpe son muy caros tener uno de esos, gracias

[@bici.family]

The price of course depends on your budget and what you plan to use them for and what value you see in them. They are more expensive than a normal bike, but it's important to know that there are different options available. I suggest that you have a look at the possibilities in Peru, maybe there are some local trike dealers, because it's not the same everywhere around the globe 😊

[@marceloescobedo7967]

Buenas tardes muchas gracias por responder, me gustan mucho sus aventuras, gracias
