Post a pic of the trike would like to see it

If you enjoy riding pillion, then go for it. Wrap up well and keep a scarf over your mouth. You'll soon know if it's good or bad for you. Try to live life to as fully as you can.

I want to live life to the full. The problem is that a Trike costs a lot of money. So I don't want to find out that I can't breath after its bought.

Fair point Tilly. Is there no way that you could have a test ride? I reckon you'll be OK but that's easy for me to say. I still push myself to do things but I know my limits. Good luck.

Probably not try it and see but it will probably affect your well being. Plenty of fresh air and lifting of spirit is what i predict. My empacemia is sever and i still love to be out on the bike. You do feel alot freer on a trike than in a car. How exciting ! Have fun

A good full face helmet and you will be fine.

I ride a large motorcycle - have bronchiectasis, asthma, atrial fibrillation and mild osteoarthritis and this 70 year old feels free as a bird when out on bike.

Go for it
