It's Sunday morning, great weather and time on our hands so my wife & I hit the W&OD trail for a ride. From our house we rode mostly through parks to get to the trail and then took the trail west to Reston. In Reston we stopped for a fruit smoothie before heading back home. In total we road approximately 20 miles today and we're both settling into the trikes. Not a long distance by any stretch of the imagination but long enough to work out some kinks.
People continue to be inquisitive when they see the trikes and if we are stopped we get plenty of questions. Guess that's the "price" to pay for owning a unique transportation option.
Over 20 years ago GM showcased a three wheel vehicle in their EPCOT pavilion. It was called the "Lean Machine" because most of the steering was done by leaning. A similar product is on sale in Europe, www.carver-worldwide.com. A US company has licensed the technology and is promising to bring a unit to the US market, www.flytheroad.com. I've been on the mailing & waiting lists since this was announced. After riding our pedal trikes for a week I'm even more excited about the potential of finally owning a "lean machine".
