New transport.

On the weekend Sharon and I tried out two trikes from Fuse Recumbents. I came away from a 4km ride with no issues, and the 8-month preggo chick's only issue going up a hill was that her belly was getting in the way enough to stop her.

So shortly I shall possess a secondhand, 1993 Greenspeed trike, with trailer so I can take parcels down to the post office. Very happy about this. It'll save us some petrol money, and it's a form of exercise that is fairly low impact. Combined with my swimming lessons, I'll hopefully be doing good, exercise-wise.

Found it to be a very comfy ride. Plus I don't have to balance. My balance has improved a lot this year, but can still vanish without warning, and is more variable when I'm tired.

I'm already sitting around thinking, 'A few years time when I'm not having to be home to change and feed the sprog... I might need to build myself up to a Nullarbor crossing by trike..."

From west to east in August of course.

And you better invite me along for the ride or I'll never forgive you. :)
