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.
Bike Forums has gone a little over the top with external scripts. I ended up downgrading just as they upgraded, so Bike Forums will barely run without blocking external scripts (except cimg3.ibsrv.net that needs to be allowed for the new photos to work). I don't get many editing options, but most everything else works (other than having Bike Forum headers/footers wiping out half of my screen).
I did pick up the trike mentioned above. I'll play around with it a bit, then will probably make it available to someone who needs it.
It looks like it can be disassembled and packed reasonably well. However, it is currently configured for someone around 6'. It would need some adjusting for someone significantly shorter (or taller). It only bakes on the front wheels with independent brakes.
