Would it be possible to ride a Recumbent trike on the Michelson Trail?
It is NOT power assisted in any way. A trike has a wheelbase ( width between rear tires) of approximately 36"

Yes, recumbent bikes are allowed on the Mickelson Trail, as the trail is open to traditional types of bicycles and E-bikes (Class 1 only).

The trail is designed for various types of non-motorized vehicles, including traditional bicycles, mountain bikes, AND recumbent bikes.

The trail has a crushed limestone surface, which is suitable for recumbent bikes. The trail is accessible to people of all abilities, making it a good option for recumbent bike users who may need a more comfortable riding position.

While most of the trail is easy to navigate, some sections may be more challenging due to inclines or rough patches. Users should be aware of their bike's capabilities.

Recumbent bikes can be a great choice for enjoying the scenic views along the Mickelson Trail.

I haven't seen a lot of recumbent bikes on the trail during my rides, but I have seen some. Enjoy the ride. And do watch out for unlocked E-bikes. Don't ask me how I know...
