You trike riders missed a thorn on the road between Bridgwater and Taunton today, but no worries, my front tyre picked it up.

As a child if my Mum or Grandma heard the 'rag and bone' man coming down the road I was dispatched with a bucket and dustpan to collect any stray manure with "Don't come home without some " ringing in my ears................had to walk miles sometimes.

Is that why you go over the bars? Trying to pick up thorns and glass.

On the debits side, those of us riding upwrongs can't draft you.

That's true, often got moans & groans when I rode the recumbent on my club rides, i was s big lad,
I was the runs leader, very common to have a string tucked in behind me when leading,
This was negated when I was on the trike, pointless when windy day on the 3 - wheeler, and if it was very windy and on the Upwrong had to be carefull i didn't drop them all, big & strong like an Ox !
Was one guy who always tried to 'wheel' me, on a windy day ,down hill he didn't stand a chance, usually left them all !
Well---------since Im 86 and only ride about 14 mph, I dont create much of a draft anyway.
At 87 I dont ride fast enough that you would want to draft me. Speed is way down on the list of reasons I like to ride my trike.
Not when you live in the snow belt in Nebr. Hard to get traction in a foot and a half of snow, and its 20 below zero.
