Good morning, I live in North Central Indiana, and my wife and I would like to travel to the Ohio River area to get a nice long trail ride along the river. Are there a few trails that you would recommend down there? Thanks

Just watched this video for the first time today. I have Crohn’s Disease which is another autoimmune disease. First diagnosed way back in 1986. So I can’t speak to fatigue from the perspective of a newly diagnosed patient. But I do remember the fatigue whenever my condition flares. I’m mostly in remission these days. I know of an Ankylosing Spondylitis patient who experienced flares of his condition. So in the flare sense the 2 diseases are similar. I’m curious if your fatigue mostly occurs during flares.

The fatigue tends to get worse after exercise. It can take a week to recover from a light hour of triking these days. I don't think it's tied to flares, unless the fatigue IS the flare.

Bro, that's an amazing idea with the traffic cone. The chainrings, just kind of fit. But this is a Tongshen TSDZ2 so it's probably different. I don't recall doing anything special for that. That being said, I now just use the singular ring. I was never using the smaller one so I just got rid of it and the shifter.

Am I remembering correctly, that you an electronic tech? If so could it be from an exposure to something that you are regularly using like board cleaners, solder, rosin, the magic smoke that is released during testing the board, or even etch compounds used to remove unwanted copper from copper clad boards during prototyping? From my limited exposure I have read some Doozies of MSDS that make DDT look safe! Do not get me wrong, I am not saying that PFAS is your problem but it or some other chem is likely making you sick! Example PFAS, or Polyfluoroalkyl substances are fire retardant, water proof, melt resistant, friction reducer, tackifier, surfactant, lube, fuel additive, grease remover, rosin remover, coolant, cleaner, static reducer, sealant and far more including over 12,000 formulations! PFAS is like a TSR application, it just stays there, except it pollutes soil, lakes, and more! PFAS is in almost everything but it can be toxic or lethal. It is in Fertilizers, it is in our chips, it is in nonstick pans, it may be in lip balm, it is in latex paint, it is in clothes Here is a link to last weeks CBC Marketplace episode: Title: Is your makeup harmful?

There's a lot of factors here. You're a lot closer to the ground in a trike, and there's just more... hardware, probably twice as much. So yeah it can get a bit rattly. My sidebags bounce quite a bit on bumps which causes a lot of noise too.

You do not need a topic, just shoot some video and 5 min is enough to keep us watching, but we like more. Myself I bought a 2014 Catrike Expedition in August for $1300 CAD which was lightly used. I hope to get around $1000 for my 2010 ActionBent. The Expedition is a speedy rig as I have been clocked by the RCMP at E-Bike Cat 2 speeds (49km/h) without any motor installed (not on a grade of any kind!), man, I was so sarcastic to that poor cop who was sure that I had a motor. I am trying to decide if I want to transfer my balanced dual cable brake lever from my ActionBent to the Catrike? Thoughts? 2 more wants: (1) install a 2m/70cm antenna so I can be bicycle mobile (HAM), (2) install my Bike E windshield which will be mounted to the boom and one distant want, add a Assist drive of 250 to 500 watts with a safer EM3ev battery (or two)

I'm curious about the "dual cable brake lever". Is that a thingy that lets you pull one brake lever to engage both brakes? Would be useful when I have a camera in one hand. Not sure if that's something useful to you or not. The motor is definitely a nice upgrade for any trike. The extra weight hurts quite a bit. But sounds like you may not need that. :)

Couodn’t tell if you hit a series of rumbles or bumps. I had front fenders on Catrike Expedition about 10 years ago and had to remove them. They attached to the hub area, not where yours do. Mine would rattle and shift and rub on wheels making it necessary to stop and reposition the fenders. Terrible design. Yours attach to a different area and seem much more secure.

You need a DDU (Dog Deterrent Unit). A bottle of compressed air, like a Zounds Air Horn, with a Tee junction equipped with a spray bottle and remote nozzle with some noxious water based, preferably non-toxic mixture like Bitter Apple, out the nose and/or tail of your trike. Yes, you will want to hold your breath, and wear PPE, which will affect the enjoyment of your ride, but The Skunk Bomb will give most dogs pause, as well as any riding companions you may have, unless you did not want them in the first place. Remember: Skunk Bomb! The most effective DDU! EVEN WORKS ON BEARS AND COUGARS! Your results may vary...

Yep I know the feeling of fatigue. For several years I had this weird pain that would migrate around my body. Just moving was painful, so I'd try to sit as still as possible when it would happen. Sometimes my hands hurt so much I couldn't use my computer and even picking and using a TV remote was stressful. I kept going to the doctor and asking about this weird pain that would move around. The doctors kept prescribing physical therapy... and I'd feel better for a while after getting out and being active, but then the fatigue would set in and take me out for days at a time. During one particularly bad flare up, where I could barely move my arms or hands, I was finally diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. My Doctor said my "rheumatoid factor" was off the chart, so no wonder I was in pain. I wasn't even 50 years old yet at the time, and find out I've got a form autoimmune disease that is my body fighting itself. At least I had a diagnosis and there are now very effective treatments for it. Ever since I started taking the medications to deal with this, I've not had any more of the debilitating pain that migrates from place to place. The fatigue is still there, but it's no longer so troubling. I used to love to walk, hike, bike, etc, but I've also suffered a few other conditions as I've aged that preclude me from riding a bike or walking very far any more without suffering extreme pain and exhaustion. My doctors are still encouraging me to get more physical exercise. I have an indoor recumbent exercise trike, and I can comfortably use it, but it's super boring just watching TV or the wall while I pedal, so I'm getting a trike. Pandemic supply chain issues mean I won't see it for more than a month, but it's all bought and paid for at this point and I'm just waiting for the call telling me I can come pick it up. In the meantime, seeing you, and Patty, David and many other trike cyclists out riding and enjoying the experience will have to do. Thanks for taking the time to put out your videos. They ARE hopeful and inspiring.
