Certainly more grip under most circumstances, ...Hi<br /><br />Certainly more grip under most circumstances, than a bike. If that was your meaning? However, a racing trike needs a lot of skill and rider gymnastics to stay upright. Once the rider climbs aboard the c of g rises dramatically. Making the racing trike, plus rider, highly unstable. Only the rider can keep the various competing forces within the wheel's ground contact triangle. He/she must use their own upper body weight by leaning into corners. Or away from road camber or lateral slopes. Or he/she simply tips over and falls off. :-) <br /><br />It is the constant attention to maintaining one's balance which makes trikes such incredible fun to ride. It may become automatic pilot after a few years but the next awkward corner can present a potential disaster area if taken wrongly. Taken correctly it hones one's skill and gives a sense of pride in achievement. The bike rider probably doesn't even notice most corners. Except when riding at the limits of adhesion. Which can make bikes seem quite boring compared with riding a racing trike. Where almost every corner presents some kind of challenge.Chris.Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13986753919505764942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3273873140463924284.post-80371475855665051002012-06-08T02:28:14.986+02:002012-06-08T02:28:14.986+02:00Trike racer hmmmm Would be more stable in the rain...Trike racer hmmmm Would be more stable in the rain i supose.Sleipnirs Masterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00598465111314861267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3273873140463924284.post-60074291557844232492010-04-19T17:51:11.591+02:002010-04-19T17:51:11.591+02:00If only for one day a year. ;-)If only for one day a year. ;-)Chris.Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13986753919505764942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3273873140463924284.post-59091624250915065442010-04-18T20:54:48.219+02:002010-04-18T20:54:48.219+02:00Beer, wine, chocolate and a trike, life is exceedl...Beer, wine, chocolate and a trike, life is exceedly fine.Gunnar Berghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17451985764040900726noreply@blogger.com
