Hey guys, I'm looking to borrow a Tri-wheeler for a special project in the Chicago area. My grandmother who is 81 years old, never learnt how to ride a bicycle. She grew up in a farm in Guatemala and was a good horse rider back in the day but no one ever taught her how to ride a bike. She's noticed me working on bikes and how excited i get when I go for a long bike ride and she has expressed regrets about never learning.

She is no spring chicken but she is very capable and independent. She still walks places and does stationary cycling almost every day. However, if I tried to teach her how to ride on a regular bike she could fall and that could be pretty bad for a lady her age. I thought of looking for some kind of training wheels but then it came to me that I could take her somewhere safe to have her ride an adult tri-wheeler. I don't want to buy it because I don't have space for it and I doubt that she would ride it very often. If someone has one I could borrow for maybe two weeks it would be great. Thanks and let me know.

I'm not in Chicago and I don't have a tricycle, but if this happens please post pics of your smiling grandmother riding a trike. Images like that always make me smile.

I will definitely have a camera with me. Also, I should say that I would be willing to put down a deposit of some sort for the tricycle.
