Thanks David, I’m excited to be getting my new ice trike here in the UK in a few weeks time. I’m getting the adventure model. Your video confirmed all the aspects that I thought were true. I too have had numerous health issues, and much of the motivation for getting a trike is to regain fitness after my most recent health event.

Endorphins help how you feel it treats sever ptsd in me

David, wherever you are, thank you and Godspeed!

Thank you for sharing ❤

Penyom is a better gear system

Thank you! I am also legally blind. I did not know a lot of this. God Bless you 🙏🙏🙏

Hello from Georgia! ❤❤🖐🖐

Thank you so much David for that video. I encounter the exact same problem my BMC e-bike and didn’t know whqt to do since my bike shop told me after replacing a wire that it was probably the battery and it would cost me around 1500$ CAD. I applied the grease and the problem was solve. Thank you again and god bless you! PS: I started running a e-bike since I had treatment for a skin cancer. I can now continue to go to work by bike every day!

Look into a batter powered oxygine concentrater as a retired doctor keep riding

Corretive lenses still kinda work for me but I learned people had faces as a kid 😂I needed to know these benefits existed. I miss reading books and that sounds awesome. Grr… I should voice type but I’m thinking this is coming out ok

Even though Dave has been gone for a while now,, the videos are still so calming and I encourage my patients to watch them and get out and move. Rest in peace my brother!

Rest in peace David!!!

When I lived in Pennsylvania, I loved the trails, too. Most were former railroad ways. I'd take my time, stop occasionally and look at details, and halfway, I'd pull off the trail, lock the brakes and lie back and nap in the seat. Nowadays, I mostly have the trike set in a practice stand and pedal while listening to the radio and letting my pet parrots climb on me.

Where did you live ? It's so beautiful .

Hello David, I am from Costa Rica, diabetic, high blood pressure, 4 BRAIN STROKES and nasopharyngeal cancer, 6 chemotherapy and I managed to make my tricycle now, thank you very much David continues

What a nice nature trail to have to ride on, wish we had on here.

riding a recumbent is fascinating and pure fun. and it helps if you are dealing with eg. fibromyalgia, depressions, high blood pressure ... you name it ;-))

best medicine ever ;-))

I just bought a Terratrike Path 3 speed IGH and replaced the bushings ( hey its 2007 vintage before they changed to bearings ) and the entire drive train so now it is a 20 speed. My use is on bike paths and mining roads where I need the stability at low speeds . I have no plans on riding in traffic or beside traffic . Looking directly into the side of a sports car and reading tire labels is not where I want to be on a ride. I have a Bacchetta Giro A20 touring recumbent for leading rides , grocery rides , commuting or touring in comfort.

Went 46 miles yesterday on Terra Trike All Terrain. Was on gravel, roads, and paved bike path. Hit one big hill. Very pleased with the trike and glad I didn't get the motor. One thing-Wear plenty of sunscreen-Sun burnt knees don't feel good

I'm so happy that this dear man made an appearance on my feed today. He is loved and missed! Rest in peace, dear friend.

I don't see the benefits except sitting, you have to get up from a really low position and if you load it on a truck you have to lift from a low position. Or live near paths ,.Why not just an electric trike?

Why would you want to sit that low and pedaling in that position is harder

Thanks for your insight TX.

I have been riding recumbent bikes for the last 15 years ,currently riding number 10 of the 14 bents I have bought . Unlike a diamond frame bike recumbents have far more variety and attributes . So of late I bought a cheap Terratrike Path 3 speed igh and with a bit of time and parts it is now a 20 speed . I specifically played with the gearing so that I can have 10 gears for regular riding on pavement and 5 gears for those horrible slopes of the Britannia Mines road in BC . As I am running a medium cage derailleur with 26-50 front chain rings the rear derailleur just does not take up the slack in the chain past the 5th gear. By the time I get to the fourth gear it is basically the same as my 11th anyway. When you are on a steep slope with really low gears having three wheels is a bonus as stability is paramount.

I think grappling is a great physical activity for visually impaired people. I know of many people who excelled in Jiu Jitsu, wrestling, Judo, etc. while being visually impaired. Also they should expand what qualifies as legally blind beside just taking into account refractive power and peripheral vision field. There’s so many more aspects to vision than those. The quality of my vision is horrendous but I wouldn’t qualify as legally blind which is alright because I don’t need special treatment or want it from others.

I hope there's trikes in heaven.. Ride on David....

G'day David... Yeah.... still riding along with you. Mid 2024, too. Always.... Thanks David.. Ray ..... in Oz

G'day David..... Yeah, still about on our trails...... and I still enjoy rustling up a few of our memories from our past years. Such good thoughts and shares. They'll endure. We knew they would, didn't we. Catchya down the track, David. I'm catching up to where you are. Hope there's a fair bit left down here....... and that you're sorting some new adventures over there. ...... Ray..... in Oz.

Thanks Dave

G'day David.... Yeah, well into 2024. Still triking about..... at 83..... and Always you float in my mind as I ride our tracks..... so good to have shared our rides. You're always on my mind as I trike along. I miss you, David. Ray..

G'day David.... Well, it's halfway through 2024..... yeah, still out on the lake edge..... and your thoughts skip over my mind. There are years behind us. You'll always be ' there ' , David. Thank you. .... Ray..

I'm currently looking into the ICE Sprint X Tour. Your review is helpful. Ta.

Thank you for the wise words. Looks like a beutiful place to ride...Hope your doing okay.

I just want to get to the grocery store and back with a hill on the way back.

Hello, took up riding when I retired 7 years ago. Bought a Cannondale carbon in 2019. Last year during RAGBRAI, I developed severe neck pain after about 40 miles. Plus, every day I was bleeding from my bottom. I had plenty of leg strength and endurance, but the pain was too much. Bought a used Bachetta recumbent, and been training on it for a couple months. Went on group ride last week, and found that I was very unstable when I was below 6mph. Had the gears to climb steep hills but not the stability, felt like I was going to lose control any second. So, perhaps a trike is what I really need. Here is my concern: how much speed will I lose going to a trike (from those who have done it)? I am/was a 17-18mph road guy, who did not have much trouble climbing hills on my Cannondale?

Thanks again Dear David. I'm trying to follow your clever advices about joy and the exitment with the nature and nice trike rides. I'm looking foreward to get my first trike. I got disabled and bedridden from an allergic reaction from a vaccine, and have got a message that this will growing worse, but I will enjoy some trike rides and use the trike like an outdoor wheelchair. And I'm exited if I will manage this because I can hardly walk a few steps with crutches on a good day, but together with my doctors we have found that my legs can have almost 30% strength for a while in a laid back position with good neckrest like on a recumbent trike. It's importent with a soft ride because of the injuried nerves, but we think I will make it with full suspension and some cushion effect from 3" wide high volume tires. With the el- assist I hope this can make me come home in a wheelchair-mode if my legs won't go. Excited. Thanks for your advices, you have been really helpful David. Best Regards from Norway

Thanks David! You are a wise man and it's very kind of you to share of your experiences with us in such a helpful way. Thanks. Best Regards Arne G from Norway

Thanks for your good review😊

Hello David, sorry aubout your cancer. I would like to send you a big thanks for your honest reviews there you tell about your challenges and hope riding a trike are helping you to overcome the panne and make you stronger both in your head and your body. In addition your knowledge about trikes are helping much other people including me in my disability.. Big thanks David, I wish you all the best. Best Regards from Arne Gerhardsen in Norway

Cheers to you, David, and all the other trikers out there. I love my Greenspeed GT 20 tadpole trike for most of my riding. I'm 81 and still ride a couple of hybrid two wheelers, but when it comes to long distance comfort and climbing ability...I turn to the trike. Did I say climbing ability? Yes, I live on the front range here in Colorado Springs and there are hills and mountains everywhere. The trike is stable and comfortable going up or down almost any kind of slope. Many will say that a trike does not climb well. I disagree. I climb in comfort with no balance issues even at 2 mph. Two wheelers may pass me going up, but they are huffing and puffing trying to maintain their balance. I easily catch up with them on the down side; and I'm comfortable and safe even at those higher down speeds. Onward and upward. 😊

Youre a peanut-jelly- hero David. Yes thats a thing, at least in my head

My name is also David and my wife and I have always ridden tandems. Age and health has led to us ordering a BamBuk recumbent tandem trike and all your points are the ones that led to our decision. Very much looking forward to riding this tandem.

Hat and gloves. Hat for the sun and gloves to keep hands clean and avoid minor scratches and cuts.

Mention Dave every chance I can!

Have an ICE Sprint X 26 Tour. It can climb any hill with rohloff hub and tripple chainring, but quite a bit slower than my endurance road bike. It feels heavy and sluggish in comparison. It is much more comfortable, handles bad road better, feels alot safer, treated alot better by motorsists, but not as much fun. Have given up the idea of touring on it due to a few reasons such as speed (it sucks constantly being overtaken by bicycles) and having an electric motor put on it to make it more fun for journeys within the range if the batteries. Depending on how it goes with 2 batteries, may get more to carry in panniers for extra range.

RIP

We miss you David.

I have a trike and love riding on trails too. Where did you get the sunhat for your helmet?
