I love all the adaptions which have to come through your history. My ehler danlos and ataxia are pretty stable these days. Thankyou for your kind words. I'm not sure of my height but you could ride a trike as they are designed for all adults to be able to use them.

Yes they very litany make them in all sizes: As my para cyclist are tall. The history of trike includes the original idea of giving disabled people independence and who they helped. How all the variants (like hand cycles, visual impairment bikes).

Im glad your daughter likes her trike she looks happy and comfortable on it :) I didn't know that trikes were originaly designed and made for disabled people. Have you ever seen or ridden a 4 wheeled bike ?

Adult trikeswere designed for disabled people. I have tried a wheel bike. It was an interesting experience. I have also tried a hand cycle.

My daughter? I have no child are you referencing some else.
 
For tall people, both of the trikes that I have shown you have longer seat tubes available (which I use).

My trike has 24" rims for every wheel (the biggest that I could find). My daughter's has 26" in front, 24" in the rear (the only tandem trike that I could find).

Atlas, 24-24-24; Sidewinder, 26-26; TRI-Tandem, 26-24-24 (I don't know why they went that way. It was the only tandem trike that I could find.)

Just the stock photos that I showed you earlier. The only difference for my Atlas is that I have a Rubbermaid bin permanently attached to the load platform.
