Don't have to be drunk, just old enough. Probably will be getting a Trike in 2 or 3 years. Old age is catching up with Me.

I can see me doing a trike in a couple of years or so. it's not so much the years on my old body - it's the miles and other abuse - like too many parachute jumps on the knees and too many miles in the cockpit of an old Huey on my back.

not complaining - I wouldn't trade one minute of it for anything!

A trike is a viable and logical option for people with disabilities or for people that want to "continue the ride" after two wheels get difficult.

Other people might want to ride a trike for whatever reason they might have and it's none of our business.

Why make fun of it? What's the point?

I saw those and was wondering something. If you are on a road where the asphalt is sunken in the tire tracks a lot, and the side wheels are on the high points, is there enough flx so that the drive wheel can do its job?

There's a spot that I ride over a lot where the tire track is at least 4-6 inches lower.

I've seen the "training wheel" set up on the road. They were 2 elderly riders (late 70s to mid 80s, god bless them, they're still riding). I did a little research and found a product called Ghost Wheels. http://www.trikealternative.com/ghostwheels.shtml When the time comes, this is the add-on product I would go for. Or, most likely a trike.

Ride safe,

Bob.
