HC and I were skateboarding at the beach the other day and we met a guy who was riding a mobility tricycle. The rider was mobility impaired, but someone had designed this great bicycle for him. It was completely adapted for his needs. The gear ratio was low for easy pedaling and he had foot straps to keep his feet on the pedals.
We weren’t able to talk for long, but it was great to see that he was enjoying the beach and weather as much as we were.
It really reminded me that for the vast majority of people, bicycling is more about enjoying the ride than about trying to win a race.
Keep on riding dude! and see you around.

I disabled, and ride a recumbent trike.
I rely on a walker for mobility. If this trike is made specifically for disabled people, I’d love to see it have the ability to carry a walker.
