The years came and went. The ankles and feet got less predictable. The hips told me that as low and stable as the Swing is, I was going to need some help. After some research, I found out that the primary dealer for Danson Trikes was a mere 15 miles away. After several chats with them, I bought one of their kits, put it in the back of my Toy pickup and brought it home. The install was pretty straight forward: 1.
