Subject: Hey Jeff (Question about your trike)
Over in the Misc group a couple of large (360-400 pund) guys have been
asking which bikes would get them into cycling. Seems I remember your
old trike is available in a heavy-duty version. Could you remind me of
the builder, and maybe provide a link? If you'd rather just post (or
cross-post) to the misc biking group that would be fine, but if you
put the info here I will paste it over there.

Thanks,

Indiana Mike

Hi Mike,

The builder is Sid Gowdy. His web site is http://www.americruiser.com/

The trikes that he builds are easily customized. He is a one man operation
and can easily modify the design for larger riders. The web site is great
with pictures and videos.

Sid has a $50 referral commission. Sid knows that I want the money to go to
the American Diabetes Association so if these people end up buying
something, they should mention my name and the ADA will get $50.

Sid is very easy to talk to and work with. My experience with him has been
great and I loved the trike. There are pictures of mine before the damage
at:

This was a ride to raise funds for the ADA (a theme emerges).

Are you recovering well and feeling better?

Jeff

The day before yesterday I rode 23 miles, and yesterday I rode 32. I
know those aren't big numbers, but pretty good considering those were
days # 80 and 81 since my open heart surgery.

This is my third week back to work, and my final week with restriction
(25 lb). I would have finished the cardio rehab sessions last week,
except for needing four make-ups due to skipping sessions while the
morel mushrooms were about.

Yesterday was also my first post-op commute.

Feeling good, you bet!
