why not all of the above?
On my ride home tonight, I passed a guy going the other way. He was
riding an old Schwinn suburbn or something. It had a big front basket with a large bag in it, grocer bags hanging from the handle bars, a pair of baskets on the rear rack, with a giant seabag going from one to the other. And the rider was wearing two backbacks. I don't think he was terribly worried about how it handled (I would have been, it's windy!). -- sig 42 |

The guys in these photos might find the "handling" concerns expressed here to be a bit silly: http://www.adventure-journal.com/201...ikes-of-china/ Most of them seem to have three wheels. Maybe that's the real solution? - Frank Krygowski |

When you move to a TRI-cycle from a BI-cycle then it's because you've found the handling of the BI-cycle INFERIOR to the TRI-cycle. Crikey, now we're talking about TRI-cycles not Bi-cycles. Cheers |
