2018 mileage: 1568.4
The problem I have been experiencing in recent weeks persists. My left thigh rubs (scrapes) against the inside of the handlebar on the pedal upstroke, and this has opened a wound which is increasingly painful the longer I ride.
Yesterday I posted about this situation to two Facebook groups of which I am a member (TerraTrike Owners, and Michigan Recumbent Trikes), asking for advice or suggestions. Several people replied that the manufacturer of my cycle (TerraTrike) makes a set of Wide Handlebars. They add 2.5 inches of space to either side of the trike's cockpit area. So now I have sent a message to TerraTrike to confirm that they'll be compatible with my model of trike before I order them.
Assuming it works out, this sounds like an ideal solution for me! In the meantime, though, until they arrive, I've decided I'm going to allow myself to settle for a daily short ride of a single round trip to Marsh Park. This morning I left at 6:00 in unseasonably brisk conditions (51° -- but also calm and sunny) and rode this 10.4 miles in 1:14.
