It’s not the only thing you’ve done twice 🤔 😉

True but that's the 3rd attempt at loading the pic each time it disappeared.😲 Will delete one.

My trike feels quite stable at 48mph, I wish my anus could be the same 💩

... Just scream if you want to go faster! Are you a laid back , low down layabout triker like me?
Nothing like trying to keep it rubber side down at that speed, known to be giggling like a maniac on fast descents......... something wrong with me , perhaps!

Very nice!

As for the OP, it makes no difference. You'll be fine, just keep an eye on the road.

I've done around 50mph downhill on every bike I own.
I've not really noticed much difference in terms of stability, except that the Brompton was rather more twitchy.
Not exactly what you want at underwear-endangering speeds, but I didn't die.
