Any of You Do Trikes -- in A Metro Area, Too??
Hey, trikes do look like lotsa fun! More expensive, hmm. Anyone in NYC (or some other metro area) do trikes? Besides poor Jeff Grippe (hope all is well). Just wondering. Links, etc., much appreciated. Don't expect to get into this for another decade at least -- and can't really imagine where I could ride, or how to transport such a contraption through the subways if necessary (hey, any you two-wheeled 'benters take the train with your bikes?) -- but it's an interesting idea which I think most girls would take to much more gladly than a 'bent, basically on account of the obvious safety thanks to three wheels...indeed, I think I read somewhere that trikes sell mostly to females! |

You would not believe how many trikes are around NYC. There are trikes that fold and can be carried on the subway. My trike fits in my Hyundai Santa Fe and there is plenty of room. Some trikes have very small wheelbase and the width is narrow. Mine is 32" wide, but no it doesn't fold and the subway is out. If you try this forum http://www.bentrideronline.com/ in the speciality listing there are many trike users. Ask your question there. |

Hey, trikes do look like lotsa fun! Up to a point. I was playing on an HPVel Scorpion on Saturday, and while they're fun I don't personally find them particularly more fun than a bike. Mileage varies, of course, but don't assume you'll really feel the need for one. (hey, any you two-wheeled 'benters take the train with your bikes?) Yes. Check with the train company what their general cycle policy is and if there are any limitations. girls would take to much more gladly than a 'bent, basically on account of the obvious safety thanks to three wheels...indeed, I think I read somewhere that trikes sell mostly to females! Judging from what I see in the UK that's not the case.

Ask your question there. Keep in mind that the aforementioned forum is moderated The quality of moderation is the key. bentrideronline is a private enterprise, but in my experience, it provides a decent perspective in news articles and reviews. Their forums seem to offer civil discussion within the bounds of moderation. There are many other forums that offer otherwise... Others may calibrate differently. [bentrideronline forums moderated] (i.e. censored). Then by that measure, so too, censored are the New York Times, Fox News, ABC, NPR, etc... All of these, and bentrideronline, of course, lack the official standing and scope of control for actual censorship of ideas to obtain. [Rich wrote] Which keeps the rif-raf out and makes it an excellent place to get actual information on trikes. Ignore what I wrote at your peril. Certainly, know the characteristics of the medium, but in this case, *peril*? People often mistake USENET newsgroups as sources for information. Trust the "information" here, at your peril, indeed!
