Ideally we’d find something foldable to make putting it in a car easier.
So far my searches are turning up very ‘old man’ and heavy looking options. Does anyone have any ideas for something more sporty and real bicycle looking and not insanely heavy? In my mind I imagine what’s basically a road/hybrid bike looking thing with three wheels, but most seem to be cheap-o chunky cruisers.
Thank you!

83 used to be "quite old" but now it's only a little bit older than me. For the record, I ride a Catrike 559, much sportier than that three wheeled contraption you are looking for. I'm selective where I ride, mostly bike trails but some open roads.
