David Rides a Trike

Yes, my name is David and I ride a trike.

The purpose of this vlog is to give a little bit of motivation to those living with chronic illnesses or diseases. I want to show people that they can still get out there and have fun!

I have lived with a lot of illness including:

• Diagnosed as aType 1 diabetic when I was a year and a half old.

• I’m blind in one eye and borderline legally blind in the other.

• Three organ transplants.

• Stage 3 cancer.

• More viral, bacterial and fungal infections than I can count. Some of these have been severe enough that I almost didn’t survive.

• More surgeries than I can count.

• Lots of other “minor” stuff.

But through all of it I’ve tried to maintain a positive attitude and riding has helped toward that goal. After all, riding a bike (or trike) makes you feel like a kid again!

My four words to live by - there’s always something worse.

Follow me on Strava. Just search for David Goldman and I'm the one with the recumbent trike icon.
