Draco-REX Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Well, since I made my slow ride fast(er), I thought I should get another slow one. Max speed 50mph+... ..down hill.. ..if someone better than me is driving it.. Yeah, I'm a dork. But dammit, this thing is fun to ride and tinker with. And it doesn't aggravate my neck, which was the main reason why I picked it up. It's a 2014 Catrike 700, reputed to be the fastest stock trike. The fact that it is US built is nice too.

Draco-REX Posted July 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 nice!! but how do you transport it? Sea Sucker trike rack 1000lbs of holding force for a 33lb trike. Which way is front? Cranks front. This is often referred to as a "tadpole" trike because it has two wheels up front. If it had two in the rear it would be a "delta". I could have gone with a two wheeled recumbent, but I think the trikes are neat. It's like a go-kart that runs on calories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draco-REX Posted July 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Looks like a death trap. Stay safe man. I don't plan on seeing many road miles, to be honest. Drivers do tend to give trikes greater space, but I don't want to test that. My girlfriend and I stick to trails, so hopefully I won't have to worry about being flattened beneath some idiot texting.

evan9381 Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 you'll be fine on the road...just get a $15 rear light for extra visibility. i was riding last night and passed a guy on the road behind hoover on a hand cycle with carbon fairings over the wheels. i dont think a single part of it was much more than 24" off the ground, him included. it was pretty cool and you probably wont hit 50 on many downhills in OH...i think my max speed ever was 52 and that was a long, steep downhill and i was tucked into as aero as i could be. i'd be interested to see how it goes though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRocket1647545505 Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 You'd be amazed at how many bike vs car incidents we get in the ICU. Guess which one ends up lying in the bed? Best of luck to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best of luck to you. Not at all. When I was younger I was in the ER at least 4 times for accidents. And now, after years of driving, I want even less to do with riding on the road. Too many dipshits with phones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImUrOBGYN Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Gayer than bobbing for apples in a bucket of dicks. Is there somewhere to apply for this dick-in-the-bucket job? Also, is there something in place to keep our dicks from actually touching? The compensation would definitely have to be increased in that case...

TTQ B4U Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 I don't know shit about those things, but I will say I've never seen a bike with 3 water bottles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evan9381 Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 I don't know shit about those things, but I will say I've never seen a bike with 3 water bottles. distance riders. i carry 2 which is enough for 50 miles or so for myself. some people consume a lot more water and dont want to stop as often. if its ridiculously hot out (90+), i usually carry an extra in my jersey pocket. fill it full of ice water (or freeze it if i have enough notice of what i'll be riding), and let it keep me cool by being on my back, then drink that one last once it melts in the heat.

I don't know shit about those things, but I will say I've never seen a bike with 3 water bottles. I like to ride with plenty of water. I'll sweat like crazy and the wind will blow it away so I won't know how much I'm sweating. So I just drink a lot to keep ahead of my losses. That said, I only used 2 on the road bike. I went to three on the trike because it looks better with two bottles behind the shoulders instead of just one. I may remove the one on the boom.
