Nice Ride there Warren!
Looked a bit scary in some of the parts of the video.
Excuse my ignorance, but I thought you were/are wheelchair bound?
I might have read it wrong somewhere......
Anyway......Enjoy you new toy!
Cheers

Hi Bart yes it was scary in a few spots there. I see a wheelchair in my future but I am still able to walk at the moment not well but still on my feet. You might have thought I was wheelchair bound because I play wheelchair basketball.

A lot more riding for me in the future and I will be able to loose some weight now that I have the trike

Nice one Warren. Sounds like you had been working it by the end there. So how does she feel?

Yeah I was fairly stuffed by the end of the ride my legs didn't work for about 15 min's after the ride.

But the trike feels great I just need to add teflon guards where the chain runs through under the seat because the chain slightly rubs when I change to first or second anything above that is fine.

Love riding it and I think when I get fitter it is going to be a very fast ride already I can get a good speed up.
