Going the Distance on Three Wheels
Free- this is how I feel when I ride my adult tricycle around the neighborhood. COVID-19 has been a tough and isolating time for everyone, When I came back to NJ in March at the height of the pandemic, the only way to get outside in the fresh air was to walk. At first, I could only make it a very short distance without having my legs get shaky and feeling like I was going to fall. Eventually, I was able to make it around the block but I still had to stop very frequently to rest and regain my energy. In short, it was exhausting. . . In July, my-parents surprised me with a three-wheel bike. The first time I rode the bike, it was a feeling I had never experienced before. . .freedom and exhilaration. I have a feeling this is how people feel when they drive for the first time I may have started out a bit too confident when I was riding as I did flip the bike in August after going too fast and making a sharp turn. I think I am the only person in the world who could flip a three wheel bike!
