Has Anyone Had Success/shown Positive Changes By Starting To Use An Adult Trycycle?

Cycling has been highly recommended to me so I purchased an adult trike but now find it awkward to navigate with it as the rear is so heavy and seems to "pull" me sideways. has anyone successfully mastered? TLCHG

My husband purchased a 3 wheeler this last summer. Had trouble with it at first, but after having it gone over by a professional and all connections, etc. checked out and corrected, I am able to ride it with ease.

I have a recumbent trike, made by Trident Trikes, I love it!! I have no balance issues with it and it is easy on your joints. I will try to send you a pic maybe in separate message!!

I love to bike ride and purchased a 3 wheeler 3 years past. It was a bit tough at first to turn wide enough so the trike rode smoothly but, I was fine after a few times around the parking lot.

The trikes are no good.. very hard to navigate.. even for me.. And i don't have PD... my husband has. My son got him a bike called a step thru.. helps tremendously. Easy to balance.. and like a regular bike
