Anyone who would steal one of those would be doing you a favor.

Very helpful advice, Kurd:) I am age 78 and ride an adult trike
because I do not own a car and the big basket in the rear allows
me to carry home my groceries, etc. with ease.

Before I bought an adult trike a couple of years ago, I got some
friendly tips in this group and thought perhaps I could get some
again. If I could safely ride a regular bike, I would own one as
well. It seemed to me since I cannot, the trike would allow me to
get exercise and solve the problem of lugging stuff around and it
has proved to be all I hoped for.

And I did expect to encounter some ridicule. But I live in a bike
friendly neighborhood and no one here has made fun of me for riding
one, quite the opposite. Every day people in my bike friendly
neighborhood smile at me and say "way to go." However, I guess
there is always that first person.
