Same progression on braking ability - crap on an ordinary, better on an upwrong, best on a trike!byegad said:This is the message that needs to get across to potential 'bent riders. So many tell me how unsafe it looks 'down there'. Yet the Safety Bicycle was brought in to make riders feel safer than on an Oridinary! A logical progression is the 'bent, less distance to fall etc.
Probably any recumbent, even two wheelers.xpc316e said:I echo the comments about being seen more and ignored less on a trike.
Nice one! There's also the ripost that goes along the lines of "How do you know where the middle of the road is, or where you are supposed to stop and Give way? White lines. They're quite low, so how do you see them?"con gibbens said:I saw the following on a blog somewhere and now use it myself when confronted with the "you can't be seen on a recumbent trike" remark.
" When I'm on my trike I look like a wheelie bin that's been blown into the road - would you fail to see a wheelie bin and drive over it? Of course not!"
Though it might go well on my KMX?mickle said:Hmm ....[thinks] ... a wheelie bin fairing for my Speedy.......... [stop thinks]
