Yes, CliffordK that bike is "bikey enough". We will check it out.
I apologize for not answering some of your questions until now. My son is 5'7" and around 180. Strong but mild mannered and cautious. His use will be 90% for transportation, mostly around town, and a bit of watching the world go by. Now, in good weather he'll announce he's gong to take a walk around the block (apx 1 mi) 2 or 3 times a day, even in bad weather he'll do it once. He'll go to Starbucks in town on foot, maybe 3 miles round trip, etc,etc. I don't expect he'll tour with it, but you never know, I can't count the times he's surprised us.

Try this search in Craigslist or Searchtempest.

I think this older Schwinn is 3-speed, and full differential.
Early 80's Schwinn Tri Wheeler for sale/trade
I think it may have 24" tires though. Still worth having a look at if it isn't too far away.
How tall is your son?
I would still encourage you to try out the recumbents. They are supposed to be faster and more stable than the upright trikes.
