Looks comfy. But three wheels means you can't use sidewalks or a bunch of short cuts. I've been lucky enough to be able to bicycle for a coupla decades. Love the freedom and health. Congratulations on kicking cancer. That was a lovely ride. Good Luck to Us All Peace
Congratulations on kicking Cancers ass! Do what you can to stay healthy and positive. Looking at your legs 6’6” is not meant for this trike. Terra trike does make longer booms for tall riders, so does Catrike, I think they all do for that matter, but I could be wrong. Nice little travel log. Ya I get to see all kinds of critters when I’m out on a ride. I tend to ride in the earlier evening hours when the sun isn’t so hot, (I can’t tan to save my live and I hate wearing sunscreen so I go out when the UV radiation isn’t an issue, plus it’s not so bloody hot). As for cars, drivers give me way more room when I’m on my trike than they ever did when I rode traditional bicycles, they usually give me the whole lane even though I’m usually hugging the curb. I spend most of my riding time on county roads and highways, I like to ride town to town, and we only have a few trails around here. Out on the highway drivers can see me, it’s in town it can get a dicey. When the top of your head is below their hood lines, I know they can’t see me. Especially the drivers behind the lead car, so I always ride defensively and assume I’m invisible, bright flashing lights and flags help with the invisibility thing. Parked cars are the worst, if I can’t tell if there’s a driver in that car, they can’t see me either and I’ve had a few start to back out in front of me or open a door on me. But that use to happen when a rode bicycles as well. As for what to film? Travel logs can be fun, but they’re like watching someone else’s vacation videos, unless you have something of interest, they can become tedious. You gotta have something more than this is me on my trike. I have several such videos, but I know most people aren’t going to watch more than a minute or two of me just riding around. Ya gotta have a purpose, a reason for me to want to watch your video. Me as the viewer needs a hook, something to spark my interest. Maybe your next video you should show us how to swap out your boom and make chain adjustments and then go on a test ride. It’s just a suggestion, anyway, keep riding.
I got cheap gopros on facebook marketplace. The oldest ones work best. I can relate to most of your chat. I ride a KMX Cobra 24 in Iowa. I've hated riding anywhere cars can go. lol I recently got an e-kit put on my trike so it's a full blast now.
I had the 48v 750ah bafang mid drive electric assist, on my catrike speed. I got it up to 53 mph before the front wheels started to death wobble. Actually it was the reason why I bought the recumbent trike. It was my first experience with both. I ended up taking the assist off. Didn't seem like a bicycle and more like a go-kart.
Bought it off Facebook marketplace $500. Good enough for me. My last recumbent trike was a 2006 catrike speed. Much lower to the ground. I had to by the 2x boom.

I wear open toe sandles which is probably bad but never had a issue with my feet slipping off.

They came with the recumbent when I purchased it used.
