ROVERS ARE HERE...Rovers are gone!
The next container of Rovers is due during first half of July, however, the 8 speeds are sold out. The good news is we still have some 3 speeds available in that batch.
So if you are interested in one of the 8 speed Rover trikes, you better get a pre-order in for the early August group. We are pretty certain that these will also sell out before it’s due to arrive. If you are fortunate enough to live near one of our TerraTrike dealers, you can check with them now for their Rover availability.
And for those lucky people who have one on order from the first batch, thank you for your patience, you’ll be riding soon!

TerraTrike Announces New Film Festival Contest
TerraTrike announced a new contest today focused on user created video entries. Titled the 2010 TerraTrike Film Festival, the contest encourages people to submit any type of video for a chance to win a $1500 gift certificate towards anything in their catalog. “We’ve done the Trade With TerraTrike contest the last few summers, and thought we’d do something a little different this year” says Marketing Director Jeff Yonker. “Our customers, and trikers in general, are a pretty kooky, creative group, so we’re looking forward to some great entries”.
Although all videos will be considered, ones featuring a TerraTrike and their logo will carry the most weight.
“We didn’t want to exclude those with other brands of trikes”, Yonker added. “We are really looking for videos of crazy publicity stunts, documentaries, celebrity testimonials or even stupid human tricks. The funnier or wackier, the better”.
The contest and submissions will be featured on TerraTrikes YouTube channel and runs From June 1st until June 30th. The complete set of rules and requirements can be found here.

Grand Rapids named most sustainable city in nation
Grand Rapids has been named the most sustainable midsize city in the U.S. by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Civic Leadership Center and Siemens Corp.
Chosen over finalist cities Davenport, Ia., and Hoover, Ala., Grand Rapids received the 2010 Siemens Sustainable Community Award tonight in Houston. Grand Rapids Mayor George Heartwell, Grand Rapids Area Chamber of Commerce President Jeanne Englehart and Amway Corp. Sustainability Program Manager Eric Van Dellen were on hand to receive the award, which also was set to be announced on the big screen in Times Square in New York City, Englehart said. "That puts us front and center as a leader in sustainability," Englehart said.
"It is a strong affirmation of the work that we’ve been doing in Grand Rapids for the past six years," Heartwell added, "which means we’re organizing the work of local government around the triple bottom line of economic strength, environmental stewardship and social equity."

Grand Rapids Listed As Success Story By CNN
In a lengthy feature story this week, CNN highlights the success Grand Rapids has had in engineering new urban growth in the past two decades with the collaboration among those leaders dedicated to making the city prosper. As old-economy industries faltered throughout the 1990s, the city began redirecting its vision and efforts, offering lessons to other cities such as Detroit looking for a new redevelopment plan. According to excerpts from the story:
That this plan has taken hold in, of all places, the Rustbelt of Michigan makes it all the more remarkable. Two decades ago the city could have been headed the way of Flint, Pontiac, and, yes, Detroit. But instead its fortunes have steadily improved, thanks to a remarkable combination of business leadership, public-private cooperation, and the deep pockets of local philanthropists.

TerraTrike Helps Man Get New Trike After His Was Stolen
Nicholas Knack is 21 years old, living near Eastown in Grand Rapids. He says his bike is is his life. Someone took the trike from Nic’s yard on Wealthy Street near Fuller Avenue overnight. Whoever did it ripped the lock right off of the bike.
We learned about this story on our FOX 17 Fan Page on Facebook. After seeing the story on FOX 17 News, Lori Wiswell of TerraTrike posted on our Facebook, "We own TerraTrike, a local recumbent trike company. We just saw this story and if Nicholas’ trike is not recovered, we’d like to help him with a new one."
Friday afternoon, Nic and his mom, Trisha Dings, went to the Kentwood facility, where Nic was fitted for a bike specially designed for him.
"I couldn’t believe it. I honestly couldn’t believe it," Trisha told FOX 17 News. "Grand Rapids has turned out to be the most amazing city. I thought we would get help, but I didn’t expect to get a brand new upgrade means of transportation for Nick, so I’m very excited."
TerraTrike will lend Nic a trike next week so he can get to his job at Walmart in Cascade. It will take about two weeks to deliver his new trike. Donors are still offering to cover the costs of the bike, and donations will be put towards purchasing a bike locker. Any money left over, Nick says, will be donated to help other people with disabilities get trikes of their own.
One man from Illinois even offered to build a ramp at the house where Nick lives, so he can bring the trike inside at night.
Anyone interested in donating to help Nick with a bike locker and new lock should contact Lake Michigan Credit Union. Donation can be made in Nicholas Knack’s name at the bank or by mail at PO Box 2848 Grand Rapid, MI 49501
