On tricycles:
Anyone know of any source for well designed adult tricycles?  
I have had two since my accident and both were poorly 
designed.  I got some info on trikes from Stavros (an 
organization for disabled resources) but they were all hand 
cranked (good for paras) but my legs are better than my 
arms.  (If anyone is interested I will provide those 
addresses.)  Rolling along on a trike is a great joy and I'm 
sure they will be more in evidence with the graying of 
America.  Current Florida-type models are clumsy and 
dangerously unstable (I've flipped mine a number of times).
Thanks, Don.
