I almost caused an accident recently - I was riding along, minding my own biz and a guy in a minivan was obviously looking at that old fart on that damfool La-z-boy bike and almost ran into the truck in front of him who was waiting for me to go by so he could turn right...

Yeah, I've seen stuff like that, too. I've been amazed at how frequently you get waved through four way stops, too. I also have caught people pacing me, to see how fast I was going. Once in awhile, not that often, I've had the camera phone thing happen.

There's one guy I see almost every morning when I ride to work. He drives a white Hummer. He spoke to me about my bike once and I catch him staring every time, now. Definitely interested, I think.

Interested in a swap, perhaps?

If the Hummer driver did swap with the conversion kit he would save gas? Laughing

And Mark could trade it for???????

Sell the Hummer on eBay, and increase his bicycle herd by ... oh, oodles.

Tadpole is the way to go pants down. It is the perfect human powered machine.

OK, seriously..... I don't care what you ride, or how many wheels you have. You're riding all by yourself with your pants down. affraid

Hmmm - perhaps he meant to say "HANDS down"?

I ride in the Mid West and the West. I have not yet had the pleasure of riding on a bike trail. All of my riding has been in traffic. The drivers in CA may be maniacs, but the drivers in the Mid West are brain dead. For some reason the North West has been the easiest to get along with in traffic. Or I've Just been lucky and unlucky as the case may be.
As far as the most efficient and comfortable trike to ride. And maybe one of the safer ones. It is of course mine. YMMV lol!

Ok, looks like a Catrike, is it the Expedition, or maybe the 700?........ I think I see the tumb shifters, and the rear wheel looks big, is this one of the big wheeled cats Kirk?... I ride a fairing all the time on my lwb, wouldn't leave home without it. How do you like yours on the trike?...... Last question I promise..... I don't see stock front wheel reflectors on your trike. If it's a Catrike, did you take the reflectors off, and if the answer is yes, why so?.......

Now as far as how comfortable this bike is, well with a seat cover like that one, I'd say yours is even easier to ride than my trike..... Those big plush seat covers are comfortable, rode a buddies Scorpion, he has one and the difference with and without is dramatic.

The group that rides here, everyone has a tadpole in the stable. The big tadpole ride for the year is up to the lake-front in Chicago for the air-show.......... No worry about where to sit and watch, you've got the lounge with you!..... cheers
