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.
