The Doctor's letter said a bike/trike would help my knees (have arthritis setting in them) from going stiffer & if I get one that as place for K9 to sit, then he can come bike riding with me, so I surf the internet & found a trike on eBay in my price bracket yippeee, so I ordered it last week & it came today in 3 boxes. My men came home & stood looking at the 3 boxes outside on the drive (was to heavy for me to carry indoors) I yelled out to them it was my new trike & can they build it up for me, so they brought the boxes into the garage, after they had opened up all 3 boxes up & laid the parts on the floor, they stood staring at me back to the parts then back to me. My brother said #@#@&#@ can't print what he actually said, I smiled at him & said I have followed the Doctor's letter to the T. my new trike only mine is red this is the red one I have No where in the letter did it say I at to pedal the trike/bike, just try to get trike/bike that as somewhere for K9 to sit & I have, me & K9 can site in that nice comfortable chair & my men can pedal the trike taking me & K9 on a bike ride. When my men have built the trike I post photo's of me & K9 on it
Tina, I don't know how you get away with it. I know what my fella would say! I hope there aren't too many hills in your part of Derbyshire.
Angonna minnim Tina, I kinda fort dat your doc suggested that peddling YOURSELF would help YOUR gnees. Gnot dem gnees of your men.
Well just been out to my trike & my men have given up building it for the day. Here are some photo's of my part built trike Frame trike is bigger then me thought it was Back wheels Husband holding frame up Storage box can put a picnic in there Nice leather comfortable chair
I think you might have bought a rickshaw! Never mind, your men can take it in turns on the taxi rank. Should be a nice little part time job.
Tina has only gnorg it again. Her as confuddled inches and centimetres.so no wonder it is bigger than she hexpected.
I am laughing so hard. If I got something like this my boyfriend would never go out with me in public again! I think it's going to be a little extra weight with the dogs in the back. If you strap all six terriers up to the contraption, they might be able to pull you! Did the doctor say that the bike couldn't be dog powered?
No I only be taking K9 as he's my medical system alert dog & he be in that nice comfortable chair with me, one of my 4 men will be pedaling the trike My trike is called a pedicab this is what it says on eBay : NEW trike tricycle pedicab three seat bike, mobility use closing down sale Suitable for carrying Grandma Grandpa, the kids, whoever! - in safety. The passengers are enclosed in a steel frame with comfort seating. The bike has 6 Shimano gears with back light and brake light and a front dynamo. The trike is packed in three boxes and is self assembly When I saw the word mobility & just knew this one the one I just at to have plus if its raining I can still go for a bike ride as it has a cover for extra cost of course so at least me & K9 will be dry & if its sunny me & K9 can stay cool with the sun canopy Here are the others he had Garden trike 21 speed trike sun canopy Black rain canopy Colourful rain canopy
Umm, Tina - gnext time you see your doctor ask him whose gnees are supposed to be exercised? I mean which of your men have got dodgy gnees because if they have gnot gnow then peddling you and K9 about might cause them to be gnobbly.
I am just making sure my 4 men knees don't go stiff with arthritis & of course making sure they stay fit & healthy
That is awesome that you have a service dog! However, didn't the doctor say you should be doing the pedaling?
Yes K9 is my Epileptic & Diabetic alert dog. No I have followed the Doctors letter to the T no where in the letter does it say I have to pedal, it says be good idea to get a bike/trike with a place for K9 to sit & that is just what I have done got a pedicab trike, so now K9 can sit with me in that nice comfortable chair
Well my trike is all built just need lights/brakes/tyres checked then I can go for bike ride K9 saying come on lets go K9 saying call someone so we can go riding Only time I be on saddle Look my trike as been built
