Recumbent Trike Safety Tips

Illustrating retrofit Sun EZ-3 SX Delta Recumbent Tricycle for senior fun and safety. In regards to safest trike riding practices: A helmet is advisable but the risk of head falls are much less likely on a recumbent trike than either an upright trike or bicycle. A brightly colored cap probably provides a greater safety edge than a dark helmet. See anthropic-trilogy.org/maya-gai... for an integrative view of my tricycle journey.

I just ordered my first trike, a "True Quest." I'm 74-years old now, and after getting a full knee replacement and a recent back operation, I can still ride my usual two-wheeler well, but after suffering a few minor crashes prior to my surgeries, I began to feel less "safe" on my regular bicycle. The fact is, when you're riding a bike, you're going to have a spill, sooner or later. But when you get up to our age, any crash like that could break something that you very much would like to keep.

Thank you for making this. I'm a disabled Veteran whose trying to get out like this. I'm trying to work out transporting a trike as part of the package when I go for it.

You make me feel like a kid at only 76! Nice mod you did with the safety banner flapping in the breeze. I'm going to do that on my Sun recumbent trike. My other ride is a Trek 2.1 road bike, which I'm not ready to give up just yet. Plan to do the century ride this September for Ride MS. Thanks for you excellent video.

I have a good tip for more safety, use good shoes and do not wear flip flops. Your story is good. (y)

You’re still in good shape for that age, keep it that way, I’m only asking to reach the age of 75.
