Check out YOU-TUBE para transfers. It shows a guy going through the trike transfer step-by-step. :dunno:

Most You Tube transfers I have viewed show what appear to clearly be complete injuries. I stree the word appear because I can't be sure. However there legs seem to be limp and flacid and that makes it easy to just throw it over he tank. For me as I start my transfer my leg tones out and it takes a few seconds to loosen up. My leg fights me for a while before I can complete transfer. I have seen videos on the National Association for Disabled Bikers web site that show the same. Ihave just put my rike in the shop and am having it lowered 3 and a half inches. This should make it easier. I then need to master putting my chair on rear by myself. Then the independance I am looking for will be there.

Yeah Motor nice to see you out with the wife. Her seat doesn't look that cozy. I asked my Grandson how he liked Grandmas new cycle 7yrs "Oh Grandma it is so cozy" He knocks on my helmet and says "Hey Grandma I need a snack" It's the best... Ride on I'll be right behind ya as soon as it warms up,and I get the pump right 2nd adjustment today...
