Never thought that I would go that route, but here I am. If I want to continue riding, I don't see that there is another choice. BUT to be totally honest, I find that it isn't as bad as I thought it would be. I have always kinda looked down on trike riders as not REAL bikers, but I am finding that I am really enjoying riding once again. It is ALL legs, that's for sure. Very different, but different in a good way I will have to admit. So fellow old gizzers who are out there - keep an open mind to do what you have to do to keep riding.
