3 wheel adult bicycles



Recommended Posts

I feel like an idiot am nearly 46 and cannot ride a bicycle,never riden one. I have seen the bike shop with an adult one outside,but you tend to see only mentally disadvantage people on them. I am so tempted to get one though,but think I live in a major city, and we have to wear helmets whilst riding and then I would look real silly. Got to look into body combat classes or something else I suppose, just envious reading about all the bicyle bits on here.

I'm getting a trykke or trike, however it is spelled. I'm 56 and I probably will look silly, but who the hell cares?

I bought my mom one. She cant balance due to 2 artificial legs. But wanted to be able to ride arround with her grandkids. So I bought her one and she loves it. she can go to the grocery store with out any help. and they dont have to buy gas just to drive to the store. Makes her more independent.

She told me people always want to know where she got it, because they want one.

you know everyone.....if you have ever in your life witnessed someone being thrown over there handelbars, or a car hitting a bike, you would not care how silly you look wearing a helmet. It may not be the law in Indiana, but it should be

The bikes are wonderful, and allot of the people where my mom lives uses them allot to just pedal around the apartment complex.

I used a hybrid bike and a single speed cruiser bike when I first started.....

Hang in there...you will love it once you get on

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
