Yes, Kathleen. Early in Laureen's PD career, I bought her a nice pedal tricyle. It enabled her to go with us when I walked the dogs. She couldn't pedal so well after awhile (strength dimished in her legs, and we have some hills here), so we got a motorized trike (a used Palmer), and that worked. (We found ours at Goodwill. Amazingly, someone had just dropped it off. It takes two golf cart batteries.) These both are single seaters. The only thing I don't like about this particular pedal trike is the fact that it only has a hand brake. It works fine, but I prefer a foot brake, as well, on a single-speed unit. Of course, pedal brakes are available, but since Laureen didn't mind just the hand brake, I never installed one. Scott Scott E.

I wonder if anyone on the list has experience with adult tricycles, regular or recumbent, single or tandem.
