There’s a new biker gang taking over in Collegedale.
If the sound of revving engines or the sight of leather bothers you, don’t worry. That’s not what this group is about. Instead of motorcycles, these “bikers” ride recumbent trikes.
The trend started with Garden Plaza resident Jerry Holdridge who was an avid cyclist in his younger years. But at age 82, cycling wasn’t safe anymore. After taking several years off, Holdridge’s daughter, Pam Lewis, noticed the recumbent trikes and thought they might work for her dad.
“It opened up a whole new world for him,” she said.
And he isn’t the only one.
