The Catrike: My neighbor has multiple sclerosis which progressed to the point he couldn't go jogging anymore, and his balance is off, so he bought a Catrike for really cheap. I've gone out with him a few times on a local MUP and he seems to do quite well on it. He initially bauked at my advice to go out early in the morning (like even before sunrise when the eastern sky starts getting light), but found it to be best since that's when the MUP is the least occupied (and he doesn't have to be concerned with the wide stance of the Catrike). He let me try the Catrike, but I'd prefer a two-wheeled recumbent (maybe a Raans) rather than the 3-wheel.
1. Which operating system are you using? I have several Win 7 and Win 10 computers, and no real issues with the new BF format on any of them.
2. I think the late, great Sheldon Brown used a Tadpole 3-wheel recumbent as his MS progressed. Horrid disease -- my mother had it and died at age 66, which was 30 years younger than her mother and grandmothers, and 22 years younger than her father and at least one of her grandfathers.
