Clipless pedals are very dangerous. I've been riding bicycles continuously since I was 5. Have even commuted to work year-round in suburb north of NYC, Had been using Shimno clipless pedals for about 10 years and had several occasions when I couldn't release from the pedal and dumped over. The last time, at age 58, caused my right hip to fracture. I needed 2 surgeries and 6 months of rehab. After the accident I found out about two other cyclists who suffered hip fractures because they couldn't release from their pedals. Needless to say I took them off my Trek and will never use them again. The Pain was not worth the gain. PS I'm now seriously looking into purchasing a trike like yours. Warning!!!

I find myself turning down the air conditioner, following the kids around the house and turning off unused electrical items. I even consider what I buy at the market based on needs not wants any more - a bag of chips mostly full of air has gone up in price by a dollar…..
