Sorry to hear of your woes!

My solution to this problem is to stick to the roads. My local Sustrans Rangers have a 'thing' about avoiding motorcycle use on off road sections, to the point where they made it impossible to enter the off-road network except by lifting any kind of bike over/round a barrier*. I decided that I've paid for the roads all my life and I'll jolly well use them!

* Which is one of the reasons I stopped 'Rangering' for them. The other is the state of their off road sections, another their piss poor signage** and finally I got sick of everyone I met blaming me for Sustrans' failings!

** Yes having signed several sections of the NCN I know the issues, but still it's piss poor in places!
 
several sustran fund raiser I know have left them , too many moans and not enough effort on sustrans part .

Had rotating cuff injury surgery in January and a plate inserted in my left shoulder,so bought my Hase Ket full suspension ready for summer.
Went to lift back of trike to go through the ant m/bike barrier which is a B******r to get it through felt a sharp pain and numbness my right shoulder!!
Ignored the pain as I am used to it ! following night was very painful off to see my GP and had x ray and a ultrasound scan 3 weeks later.
I have a tear in my tendon so I have to have further surgery again on rotating cuff ,can believe my luck sometimes not only have a degenerative spinal disease but problematic shoulders!!
Told the surgeon how it happened and have been advised not to ride,think I will be the judge of that as its my only form of enjoyment left.
So I have been thinking of a folding recumbent trike eg Ice trike, Gekko or a scorpion as this would be easier
for me to tackle these barriers in future.
Reluctantly going to sell my Hase Kett the most comfortable trike I have owned with full suspension

Hi Neil, was wondering if this kettwiesel was still for sale, probably not as it's now a year later, but if it is I am very interested. Regards Malcolm
