Adult Trike....

I have an adult trike I can't use due to balance problems.  (there's a reason why my mother didn't name me Grace....LOL)

So - it's taking up room in my garage, and I'd like to sell it.  It cost $750 new - purchased at Bicycle Garage.  It's a 3 speed, and has a platform on the back to carry things, such as bags, etc.  It's big enough for a small cooler.

PM me for details if you're interested.

Thanks!

 Christie,  what's the weight limit?  I'm thinking Alisica's step mother may be able to use it.

Duane, it has a 500 lb weight limit as it's industrial strength.

Here's a link to the product info.  Mine doesn't have the box on the back, just the platform.  It's open mesh, so bungee cords can easily be used to hold something on back there.

It's yellow, not black like the one in the photo.

I have vertigo, so I'm dizzy most of the time - we thought a trike would let me ride with hubby as I can't balance a regular bike.... but nooooo.....  LOL.  I can't stay on this one either.  I bet I'm the only person that's fallen off a 3 wheeler!

Let me know if you want any more info.

Hi Alisica!  Hope you're feeling better!

 Thanks for the info Christie.  Hey you're not hitting the bottle before you go riding are you?  Alisica is doing much better.  She says that she's going to cancel the Endoscopy tomorrow.  She's been able to keep everything down so I guess it will be ok.

Duane

LOL!  Nope!  A bad ear infection about 5 years ago left me with permanent vertigo.  I get all the room spinning effects without any of the booze buzz!

Glad to hear Alisica is doing better - but if she has any more problems, I would definitely suggest she carry through with the endo.  Better safe than sorry!!

 Honestly, I'd rather she go ahead and have the Endo. just so they can take a look and see if it's ulcer or stricture.  She's stubborn just like me and she's not going to do anything that she doesn't want to do.  Permanent vertigo....wow that sucks.  Have they done an MRI of your IAC's just to be sure?

Duane

I have vertigo off and on really bad too Chrisie..permanant?? omg..crap!

Jeannie

yep - obviously permanent, as it's lasted this long according to the doc.  I have 2-3 bouts of room spinning, every single day.  So - I'm real careful and try to avoid quick movements.  The worst is when I go to bed - when I first lay my head down on the pillow, the room will spin.  ugh!

 Well, Alisica's step mother fell yesterday and broke her wrist.  She's been admitted to the hospital for respiratory problems.  She's just in too bad of shape to even think about riding the trike.  Hope you have success in selling it.

As for the inner ear issues....I'll get vertigo for a month or two at a time.  It's terrible when it happens.  I know what you mean by no sudden movements and bed spins when you  lay down.  I've not found anything that helps when these spells come.  Hope you get some relief.

Duane

So sorry to hear about her fall!  I'll keep her in my thoughts.
