Gotta say, the 40 mile ride to my folks house I was crapping myself and trikes certainly take some getting used to but it was great to be behind a set of handlebars again. Some of the looks from cars I passed was priceless when they saw the chair-iot on the back... :partyhat:

I'll post some more detailed pics of the mods when I get them off my camera...

lets hope for a good summer!!!

Awesome!

My Boyfriend wants to get back behind the wheel as well and that's how he got in the wheelchair as well. Can't wait to be able to go riding with him!

Rock on!

Here are a couple of the other mods. The footboards were made by my dad and the bindings are for a snowboard...

The right side board flips up to allow me closer to the trike for transfering..

The rack was built by a Derek at Diamond Trikes. You can see the way the chair sits on the front page.

The four hooks for the axle are the right width to prevent the chair sliding sideways and the bungees are the simplest way to hold the chair and cushion and are very secure.

Did a 90mile run round the Tyrone/Monaghan area yesterday on some very bumpy roads. The back mudguard mount on the left broke, but the chair didn't budge.
