I thought some of you may be interested in the Tricycle I have been loaned.
Predominantly my weakness has been in my arms, this has meant I had to stop motorcycling and cycling, especially after a couple of falls, one with the motorbike falling and me not able to stop it going down and the other was with the cycle where I pulled the brakes on and consequently tumbled over the handlebars
not too serious, but could have been.
Sheffield City Council bought 4 Ram Raam Easy Rider electric tricycles and I have been fortunate to loan one for three months. This has enabled me to get out cycling with er indoors and friends. I do feel like I look disabled on it, but with a helmet and dark glasses on, who cares.
I can simply whizz along with the wife struggling to keep up and hills are a doddle, however, I am unable to put my arm out to indicate my direction intention, so rely on er indoors to cycle behind and indicate for me. I steer using my shoulders, but both hands must stay on the handlebars.
