    Yep, that wouldn't work. Just looking for ideas when you are ready to ease back into riding. I had hoped you might have a hitch-mounted rack, some of those are easy to use (others, not so much).

    Also the word "trike didn't register. I hope you are feeling at least somewhat better!

    definitely feeling better. Not taking any opiates, but there is still significant pain. I FEEL like I could comfortably ride a two wheel bike, but my Dr has forbidden it because of the risk of falling and worsening the fractures in my ribs.

    Your doctor's advice restriction is warranted. You want to heal properly.

    That was a horrible accident Laurel!

    You definitely don't want to rush things.

    Once the pain subsides, you might be able to ride a stationary bike or a 2-wheeled bike on an indoor trainer as a way to start moving again without the risk of falling. But clear it with the doctor first.
