Sweet, I had five seconds of fame in the beggining. It must have been an important call..... I promise.

nice vid Tadpole... what's the deal with your bike? Someone mentioned what those are called but I forgot. Do you roll that thing solo too? I would be frightened of BIG RIGS!

They call it a recumbent trike. A tadpole trike has 2 wheels in front. A delta trike has 2 wheels in back. The tadple style lets me get a lower center of gravity, and fliping over becomes a little bit harder. They roll over if you take a turn too tight at speed, so lower is better and faster.
I try to ride to work at least twice a week. It's about 9 miles each way. I've learned to ride more vehicular, and take the lane if I'm worried about space. It's up to every rider to look out for themselfs but with a regular bike I think it's harder. I always have 2 mirrors, and use them. I look so different that most drivers are afraid of running me over sol they swing way wide. The most dangerous place is waiting at a corner to cross in the crosswalk. Act like a car and they will treat you like a car.

Ahh, there was only one other bent rida that I noticed and he was on a two wheeler, so it must have been you that I seemed to spend most of my time near. Looked very comfortable. All you need is a wet bar, fridge, and tv set. Bet you could haul ass on that thing.
