Does a trike put me on a collision course with traffic?

Well, I like them both but the road tandem would necessarily put me on the road AMONG THE BEASTS all the time, while the trike I can use on the back streets and on a new path being built overlooking the ocean (cool). But I'd be tempted to ride it on the streets sometimes, squarely TAKING THE LANE because then I'd be more of a vehicle. What's your thought, I'd be safer in the trike than on the road tandem, or should I start planning my funerals? I see you've changed your screen name but not your behavior. I still remain Quixotic even though I changed my name. A trike is no more of a vehicle than a bicycle. *The trike riders I have met report that drivers give them more room on the road because they are an unusual veicle. *Drivers may assume that the rider is infirm in some way, too. That makes sense. Sort of what I expected. Still the vehicle code calls all bicycles "vehicles," so we all are a family --though not necessarily happy. |
