welcome to heck, bent trikers!

4.16: how some family reacted

. the new trike has no basket,

it's an oh-so-low recumbent tadpole!

. some wonder how I can see the traffic from down there?

. it's the same posture as in a car,

just a foot lower

and it's the only way to not be

knocked over by the leaping {winds, thieves, dogs},

though even low-riders can tip over .

the converted:

. they brought up a good point..

you are looking up and around instead of down

and low-riders are easier to balance .

but teasing me about fear of dogs?

. I do cry a lot about dogs;

I should just practice martial arts

and let the confidence in!

Out of 5 million or so you'd think there would be more.

Actually saw a recumbent trike, not a Trice,

parked outside a supermarket in Skibbereen the other week,

but by the time I'd found a piece of paper for a quick note it had gone.

Come on Tricers, where are you all?

my reply:

. my family said the trike/velomobile was impractical as a car .

. my insur'rep suggested that if I

ever tried to claim that exotic trike as stolen

it might be categorized as jewelry

(they don't cover jewelry) .
