Last weekend I rode my trike about 30 miles on the Katy Trail and saw a new (to me) phenomenon, There was a section of the bridge from Creve Coeur Park to the Katy Trail adorned with locks. Most of them seem to be couples. I guess they are attempting to immortalize their Katy ride and perhaps their love for each other. There is a photo below of that bridge section and a few others I snapped along the way.

Snapped this pic yesterday at Creve Coeur Park. The guy closest to us in the picture is the smaller of the two and was anxious to get rolling. While his owner, Bill, and I were comparing notes on our trikes he became bored and jumped up onto the seat. Bill says he always does that when he wants to get the show on the road. Bill obliged but let me snap this image before they departed.
After being told I had full-blown osteoporosis and have a fragile spine and hips I gave up my two-wheeled vehicles. I do love the outdoors and like riding but do not relish going to a nursing home with a broken spine. I test rode the below trike recumbent, liked it and bought it. Creve Coeur park has a nice bike trail and I live close to it with very little distance between me and the park; the speed limit on the route to the park is 25 mph. I do not plan on doing much street or road riding with the trike recumbent because they are low and auto drivers have a hard time seeing them but I do plan on using it on the Creve Coeur and other trails (it fits inside my Prius). it is nice to have a bike to ride that presents little danger of falling over; I had two major wrecks on my two-wheeled bicycles and was knocked unconscious both times which is not a good thing if your bones are weak.
