the scenery is better and I can't fall off it - the saddle's only about 6 inches off the ground (if you want to see one try youtube) but standing up from that position can be interesting. Had to sell the cyco trike as I kept falling off. The look of horror on the face of my very dignified neighbour (chairman of residents' association etc) as I thundered past was great ! Funny how pedalling is so much easier than walking. > Date: Fri, 21 Aug 2015 11:12:40 -0700 > From: [log in to unmask] > Subject: Re: a tough month > To: [log in to unmask] > > you amaze me - I have to use motorized cycler > > -----Original Message----- > From: A Phillips > Sent: Tuesday, August 18, 2015 8:18 AM > To: [log in to unmask] > Subject: Re: a tough month > > Glad you're feeling a bit better, Ray. > Re exercise - I took up riding a drift trike (great fun, look it up on > youtube) - it does help fitness, but I gave myself tendonitis in both > wrists from the extra strain on my arms - you basically have a low saddle > and reach up for the handlebars.
