Credit Card Surcharge
In 2025, RPDX will surcharge 1.5% for all credit card purchases. This will appear in the “tax” line of all receipts. Cash and check payments will NOT be surcharged and will continue to enjoy our longstanding 1% discount.

Learning about Trikes
It’s all about Joy!
Cycling is about much more than just transportation. For many folks, our first taste of freedom coincided with the arrival of our first bike and, as adults, we’ve continued to share that Joy with friends, spouses, children and grandkids.
Sometimes, though, age, injury or illness makes traditional biking impossible. Recumbent trikes remove those barriers and bring back the Joy! Whatever the reason, we can finish any sentence about riding trikes with, “and they’re fun!”
Why A Trike?
In this video, Mel remembers a youth filled with cycling freedom and Janet explains how triking brings that joy back into your life. Trikes offer
- Three wheel stability, so balance is not an issue at slow speed -or even stopped!
- Comfortable seating that takes pressure of shoulders, neck, wrists, hips and knees -not to mention, ya know- your SEAT
- Ease of entry and exit for folks with limited mobility
- Compatibility with an electric motor -to double your joy
Trike Descriptions
In this video, Mel and Janet take you on a little tour of the different types of trikes and explain
- Tadpole vs Delta
- Large 26 inch drive wheel vs smaller 20 inch
- Folding vs nonfolding

Test Riding
