Carpal Tunnel Syndrome leaves me with hand numbness and pain and unable to ride a regular bicycle for any length of time. My solution, ride a recumbent cycle.

I’ve owned a couple of two-wheeled recumbents, but finally switched to a trike with the goal of cycle-touring once again.

My choice, a tadpole trike (two wheels in front) from Actionbent. I test rode both a Catrike and a Greenspeed trike and loved them, but they were a bit out of my price range.

As with most human-powered vehicles, this one required a few minor modifications in order to fit me properly and to improve the performance and reliability. I’ve included photos and descriptions of the modifications I’ve made.
