 .. At
The End Of 2007, I Had Seen A Trikke Commercial And
Felt That Because Of My Physical Handicap I Would Not Be Able To
Ride A Trikke, However This Changed At The Beginning Of 2008 When
I Closely Watched The Commercial Again And Realized That I Had A
Good Chance Of Being Able To Manuaver
This Nice Work-Out Machine.
I Felt That It
Would Be A Challenge For Me To Ride A Trikke As I Had Already Been Able To
Accomplish Riding A Bicycle At Age 36 With My Prosthesis By Using Velcro
(The Brittle Part Of The Velcro Was Sewn Around The Bike
Pedal And The Material Part Of The Velcro Was Wrapped Around My
Prosthetic Foot).
Now At 54, I Went For The Gusto &
The Trikke Became My Newest Riding
Challenge & I Love It.
B riefly
About Myself, They Call Me Jaybird or.Jay And I Was Born Missing My Right Leg Below The Knee & Several Of My Fingers On My Hands. Despite Wearing A Prosthetic Device
, I've Been Able To Accomplish Numerous
Physical Activities Throughout My Lifetime.
My Past and Present
Activities Have Included: Softball,
Bike Riding, Basketball, Swimming,
Touch Football, Stick Ball, Tennis, Hand Ball, Running
and Now The Trikke. In The Near Future, I'm Already Looking At
The Scorpion Quadline Roller Skates And
A Pumper Scooter For More Diverse Activities.
 .. Because my
prosthesis would sometimes slip off the Trikke as I rode it,
I purchased a small bracket (Above) from Home Depot, made a simple
adjustment to it and attached it with the screws that were
already on the foot base of the trikke. I place my foot inside
the bracket so it doesn't slip off trikke.
 .. As you
can see (Above), my prosthetic leg is now more secured than without a
bracket and I don't worry about it slipping off the
Trikke as before. In case I'm about to fall, I simply pull my
foot out of the bracket since my foot is not attached to
the bracket in any way. This really works great for
me.
Where There's A Will, There's A
Jay.
