Or the guy my first trip to Deal's Gap. In a wheelchair with a specially equipped chopper type trike with a platform for his wheelchair and a seat for his wife on back. Totally cool.

Disability, sure, but not age.

My guess is most 3-wheelers never rode a bike before.

Age = less strength, arthritis from old age, bad knees, etc etc...I have an uncle who got super old and his legs lost alot of strength, he couldnt safely hold up a big gold wing so he triked it and didnt have to give up riding.

I cant believe you guys are dogging people for riding trikes. Regardless of their reasons (and most have a GOOD reason) at least they are RIDING.

Not riding as much as cheating.

Two wheels or four, there is no other choice.

I think people should be able to ride what every they want to spend their money on. Trikes are not motorcycles, they are trikes and most trike riders know that. I do not think I would ever choose to ride one but I will never judge anyone that does.

There are trikes and then there are trikes.

Good trikes:

Still lame, I don't really care if it can lean. It's a trike.
