Cycle Accessories for the elderly

[TricycleMichael]

This year I will celebrate my 86th year on this planet. 86 is Las Vegas code for eight miles out and 6 feet under - I’m told. Normally a saloon command to remove a customer.

I thought it would be nice to list some of the things that make my life comfortable.

Besides the usual speedometer, cup holder and ding bell there is:
• Urinal
• Man wipes
• Pill dispenser
• AARP news letters
• Pipe



A warning sign about pedestrians with their phone in face while walking:



Don’t forget the puppy.



Raining today so I thought about putting a little life on the site. Pun intended

Cheers, Tricycle Michael

You've got almost three decades on me (I don't expect I'll make it that far, but one can hope).

I thought it would be nice to list some of the things that make my life comfortable.

Besides the usual speedometer, cup holder and ding bell there is:

I have my cane in a mount to the left of my shoulder for "quick draw" when I need to get off and walk around. Another pic showing it is down below in the puppy section


and you can also see the "map light" in this pic, which in areas well enough lit for me to see everything despite light reflected from it by the handlebar stuff, can be turned on to make me and the trike more visible to those not paying attention, such as busy parking lots at night in the holidaze.



And I use a vibration-dampening StadumChair brand suspended-"mesh" seat that makes riding even this completely unsuspended cargo trike fairly comfortable.

A warning sign about pedestrians with their phone in face while walking:

I find that warning signs generally don't do much of anything, because people are too busy looking anywhere but at what the sign was intended to warn about but I use the SMV <25mph caution sign on the back of mine:

Don’t forget the puppy.

Got mine just behind the mirror that lets me see "around" the cars that inevitably pull past me on the left (and stop) while I'm waiting for traffic to pass the driveway I'm trying to exit:


and occasionally add something festively seasonal


But sometimes I'll just carry the real ones that the trike was primarily built for:
