The great thing about trikes
#1
The great thing about trikes, and especially e-trikes is you can remain active years longer. When you get older, if you set in front of the TV, you will quickly rust out and die.

OTOH with how much fun trikes are to ride, they are great fun for anyone, no matter how old you are.

The "real cyclist" turn their noses up at bents and trikes--------now. But some day, they too will get old and if they want to get out and cycle, a trike may be their only choice. And with an electric trike, they can almost ride up to the day of their funereal.

@rydabent, I will not turn my nose at bents or trikes or e-bikes. I was feeling proud about riding my fatbike across the mountains Himalayas until I rode into a cyclist riding a single-speed bike in the same region and he's planning to climb the same mountains that I am struggling in my 10-gear bicycle..:-(

That was a humbling moment for me..

By the way, I saw this "carriage" along the hillside yesterday. Your comment about funeral made me connect the "dots"..
