Apologies if this is teaching your grandmother to suck eggs**, but with some excellent tricycles out there and electric assist, it seems it is quite possible for people with serious disabilities to get moving.

Yeah, I know that is not a cheap solution and may not work for you. But if you haven't looked at e-bikes, and you can afford them, it may be a way of getting your started

if this reads as patronising, you are hereby welcomed to rudely shut me down.

** does anyone know whence "grandmother .. suck eggs" came?

I'd never shut anyone down and always appreciate any help offered, it's something that's sat on the list, it's been 6 days since the change and the improvement came at the weekend, so for now, I want to see how things go before rushing into anything, however I'm already getting bike envy

Welcome back @Disabledcyclist40, my best wishes for what lies ahead!
If I am correct, you stopped posting around the time I joined.
Great that your health problems are easing a bit, great that you told us

Not quite easing, more a case of a medication and consultant have given me 1% improvement, but that's all I need, I judt need that door opened before I come crashing though fighting like hell!!!!

Big big day tomorrow, for most, it'd be a walk in the park, literally, for me, it represents my biggest challenge in 4 years.

I'll add my good wishes although I seem to be one of the few who hasn't a clue who you are. Welcome back, whoever you are, and I hope you get everything you're after. Good luck.

If you are who I think you are , going on what you previously achieved I'm pretty sure you will smash it . Good to see you back . I mostly lurk but loved reading your posts and wondered where you went

I'm amazed at how many have so much faith in me, thank you!!!!

Best wishes for your attempt to get back on the bike - and please keep your chronicle on here. One thought is not to just consider a standard bike - a trike / handbike may also be a solution?

If you're who I think you are then I'm one of those you originally inspired. It's 6 years on since I was given a year to live and as a result of sorting myself out I'm still around!

Oh, and where do I send the bill for all the bikes and cycling stuff I've had to buy as a result?

Hahah, I'm already looking drooling over carbon, send the bills over I'll see what it inspires me to buy

Thanks again however, glad your still around and that I helped a little

Welcome back.

Cheers mate

I'd be lost without my Trike, it's coming up to 4yrs since I snapped my femur and getting back to 2 wheels is a struggle but the physiotherapy I've been able to do on the trike has been invaluable.

Welcome back. Hope you're out flying soon

 

[Gravity Aided]

Best wishes, and I certainly hope you get back on the bike, and soon. Always good to hear, when things are improving.
