one second of stupidity can get you in trouble. i had just pulled out from a friends driveway this morning and got too close to the shoulder of the road my right wheel dropped off the pavement into the weeds and i went into the ditch and my trike wound up on its side. a couple of motorist stopped and helped me get it back upright. the only damage was one broken mirror and to my pride. good thing that the grass and weeds cushioned the fall. maybe the young folks are right that a senior citizen has no business on a bike or even a trike but it is fun going through your second childhood.
