Here's a Web site where they track a Trikke competition. http://www.3cv-sports.org

Neat! We'z a sport now!

I found that competition on Trikke Tech's European site: http://trikke-europe.com/forum2/

This site has a message board with some nice features. There's some nice posts that most of us here can enjoy. Try it. I don't understand why Trikke Tech doesn't have this same function on it's Web site. I love our group here, but it would be nice for Trikke Tech to have a forum too....the cross pollination of minds is empowering.

It is really special to me to be at the beginning of a global phenomena. Here we all are, basically independently operating, yet choosing to participate in a new concept, 3cv. We are, of course, as different from one another as a princess from a frog, but when a single issue unites us, like a very thin 3cv thread upon which are strung our separate-pearls selves, it elevates something inside me that feels so right. To identify a group of like minded others is very satisfying, validating, and uplifting. In some small way, we all meet where our two paths cross at a conceptual junction, and the smiles never stop.

Kissing a Trikke is transformative; you find out that something that at first may seem to be merely a toy, is profoundly able to turn it into an incredible focus in your life.

In the posted photos from the get-together, I find it very easy to "feel" the energy of those moments. Strangers -- standing around in a parking lot with an intense relationship with a machine -- found that that shared interest tossed aside all the triggering differences that so often get us to judge others as "not in my flock."

We're Trikke flockers, eh?

We should have something like a Trikke concept shared with every person we meet, eh?

When I travel to foreign countries, I'm always struck by the immediate connection between myself and other Americans when I've met them. I might just pass them on the street here, but in a far away place, they become special to me, because I can see the thread that unites us.

Just so, I count it a great blessing to be able to see that my relationship with everyone (non-trikkers included) is similarly "threaded." I just have to imagine scenarios where that which connects us is brought to the fore. Try walking down a street with thousands of people, all with black hair, and then see a light haired person in the distance.....gets your attention immediately. It's nice that every person we deal with each day has THOUSANDS of such connections with us. We're all human, after all, and that means we all do and think so much alike no matter how vast the cultural differences. Yet, seldom do these commonalities get spot-lit, and instead, differences are examined.

So, take a moment, gang, and appreciate this flocking we're doing. It's a unity thingy. It's so easy to like you guys just because of this one thing we have in common being accentuated in our consciousness. There's no reason we cannot feel this way all the time.....heck, even with those poor tortured souls that have to have an infernal combustion engine attached to everything.

Try it!

Beware, it is addictive to think this way.
