🚴Meet Salvador: Inspiring Journeys in Recumbent Trike Touring 🚴♂️
Hello! I’m Salvador, the passionate force behind Trike Trotter, your go-to destination for all things about recumbent trike touring.
Cycling long distances has always been my passion, offering an unparalleled sense of liberation. Pedaling through endless kilometers on my recumbent trike—without the aid of an electric motor—creates a pure and exhilarating connection to the journey.
🌿 Why I Ride:
- Adventure unfolds with every (s)mile, turning each journey into a story worth telling.
- Freedom comes from international tours, blending travel and nature.
- Wild camping adds excitement, spontaneity, and a deep connection to the outdoors.
💪 Pushing My Limits: One of my most fulfilling achievements is completing a 250-kilometer ride in a single day while carrying over 40 kilograms of gear. It’s about endurance, silent companionship with the road, and collecting memories that last a lifetime.
🚀 Rising from Adversity: My Personal Transformation
Life often throws unexpected challenges our way. In 2021, I faced a life-altering accident, resulting in: ✅ Broken collarbone ✅ Shattered index finger ✅ Torn knee ligaments ✅ Severe head injury with memory loss
🔥 The Road to Recovery: Relearning basic movements was tough, but I was determined to reclaim my life. I had to regain my memory and overcome extreme startle responses and nightmares following the accident. Amid the struggle, unexpected blessings emerged:
- I stopped smoking cigarettes , which greatly improved my health and well-being.
- The weight of chronic depression and anxiety lifted.
- Within just 6 months, I returned to my trike, conquering 100+ kilometers daily—despite lingering pain.
In 2022, I started my ketogenic diet, which helped me reduce my weight from around 100 kg to 65 kg in less than nine months—without hunger. I have maintained this diet since then, with short breaks every six to nine months. And the best part: the diet positively affects my mood and mind.
This experience reinforced my belief: adversity is temporary—determination is forever.
