We got out today to have some exercise time..
Our son has a 75% restored 1973 Schwinn Town and Country single speed Trike (Chicago Built, true welded)
He Diffidently gave me a workout... although he does know how to brake when he going down a decline from a small covered bridge, today I just knew he wasn't in some cases...
So, I had to run with Camera in tow to get in front of him a few times that he needed to turn right or left....to avoid a crash through the forest bushes.
He thought it was hilarious.... that 'daddy' had to try to stop him......14 year old's, Sheesh....
I also used AF/ C / Tracking on my X-E2 and XF35mm with a mid sized AF point... (works better with my 18mm because of the deeper DoF at similar f/stops)
Enjoy...

Thanks... he does love riding his trike.
Next year... we will get the body restored, including the wheels. Last year, we got the mechanical's and new tires up to speed... it took 3 weeks for the shop to find the Schwinn 27" tires.

I like Nick's expression of joy on that last picture. BTW is that goose neck backward or is it suppose to be that way on a trike?
