Wow, do you wear an action camera? With all that action you could start your own YouTube channel, would be much better than the dross on the mainstream media. I noticed that for the last few weeks cars seemed happy to get relatively close to me, generally nothing uncomfortable, but this morning there was noticeably more space given which, I think, was due to me having my action cam mounted on my helmet.

I have two recumbent trikes now, one e-trike and one &#39;acoustic&#39; trike. They are very different, but each allows me to go many places in town. My orthopedist was enthusiatic about the trike over any other exercise except swimming, and since I don&#39;t swim much, this is the best option. I like the way you can see more, on a trike- you can look at the sky, see the wildlife, etc.
