Good advice for bikers. On motorcycle, I wore a helmet and shoes but for last nine years and on my second Sun Seeker (now 94yo) no problem. Heightening visability and staying alert - way more important.

@@mayagaia4 I have exactly the same bike, color and all. Very comfortable and easy to ride. Bought it in 2004 and still try to ride daily (82yo). I wouldn’t even think about sitting on it without a helmet, and forget about wearing flip flops. It’s his business - but he should be more safety minded. He sets a not so good example.

The rational reply is - I can't offer an opinion based on the lack of detail in your comment.

It's seven years since I made this video and have been peddling my trike daily ever since. Had to replace the peddle crank bearings and seat covering - otherwise just cosmetic disfigurement (as with my physical appearance). Even better part - never feel need for motor assist.

@@mayagaia4 Thanks for gettin back. I was wondering if I'd made a mistake by not buying the motor. Can't wait to get my new trike!!

Location is the grounds of the Martin County Audubon Society in Stuart, Fl

It is working again! Great.

Hi Robert...The Angelfire sites only temporarily go down and the evolution-involution.org almost never...But thanks for the report...Best mayagaia

@@trebormadasinned Thanks

please - bowing only to Brahman:)

Trikes are heavier than bikes and this is a particularly heavy trike, made out of high-tensile steel. However, you can make the gearing as low as you need by changing the front chainrings and rear cassette - it comes stock with pretty high "cruiser" gearing which is fine for super-flat Florida but not good for older/infirm/out-of-shape folks in hilly areas. However, because it's a trike, you can go as slow as you want without any risk of falling over, or stop any time you want for a rest and don't even have to take your feet off the pedals!

A bit like Sir David Attenborough, without cutting, very nice.

Zachary - Post your youtube URL here when it's up and running!

Know your comment well intended - but this is not an area frequented by pedestrians so slight chance anyone would be impacted. I chose this route to show the trike handles such obstacles in stride. Our city of Stuart provides a remarkable amount of support for seniors and disabled including public transportation all over the city.

Assuming a trike is riding responsibly as close as possible to the curb of a roadway that lacks a bicycle lane - any careful driver overtaking the trike would wait until the opposite lane is clear before attempting to pass. If they use poor judgment and drive into oncoming traffic, I'd feel guilty and sad but not legally responsible.

NOT his fault if some impatient driver chooses a risky maneuver to get around and loses the gamble. That's one of the many reasons to avoid getting in a hurry, we need to SHARE THE ROAD. Selfish and immature people usually look for a way to blame someone else for their own poor judgement. If he were swerving erratically like he's drunk, you can call the police, but that still doesn't make it his fault if you don't choose an alternate route or a safe way to pass. Two wrongs don't make a right. Driving on the left side of the road (in the USA) is justification to involve law enforcement, as is turning right from the left lane the like he did. I think his judgement may be lacking a little. Is this new? I don't find that more or less annoying than younger people who don't notice the traffic lights have changed because they're using their "smart" phones while they drive.

Thanks Geert for your excellent tip - although I've worn flip flops over the past thirty since I retired to Florida except if I'm pedaling over a few miles.

I have an EZ-1, the 2-wheel version of the EZ-3. I find that I need a fender on the front tire all the time otherwise it throws wet and fine road debris onto my chest and right into my face. I have other CLWB and LWB recumbent bikes and find this is the norm, whether they have a big wheel or a small wheel up front. I usually don't need a fender over the front tire on a SWB bike.

Hi Mirella - Past 5 years have flown by with distraction by political warfare but I wanted to thank you for sharing your insight. I checked out the first video in your youtube channel kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYWrhJmDmNNqirs - and thought it might be the Tabernacle Quire audio I adapted for my kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHe9nYaurc2GY5I - anthropic plotograph - but realized only the beginnings were briefly similar.

Didn't check posts on my page until now but wondered how your September Ride MS went. Also can you post a pic if you've done a safety conversion on your Sun?

Luckily our Stuart neighborhood is pretty crime-free and I wrap my tripod in a red skirt so it suggests it's part of an ongoing project...now 86yo fart-on-a-trike

maya-gaia 86yo on a trike we call.....lucky bastard. I prefer tadpole trike for longer rides. But deltas are better grocery getters. I miss the Sinner Comfort delta I had. Paid less then 200 euro so not the end of the world when it gets stolen. I won't risk parking the Hase Lepus at the supermarket. It's not mine but from someone in Daytona. Though we are a cycling nation, you won't see many old folks on a recumbent trike. I think they should. Much safer then those modern e-assisted bikes. People fall and break their limbs. Luckily we have plenty bike paths. If you have never been to Holland, look up markenlei here on YT. But my guess is you have traveled the world.

...now 89yo fart-on-a-trike! ...still feel like three-year-old when I'm peddling my EZ! Some worldwide travel but never got to Holland

Holland is very safe, so extremely boring. Our cycle paths have rumble strips to keep 89yo farts awake.
