I would just like to say........Don't get too "cocky".
I did today and had a little "spill" as a result.
I was testing the new python trike in a smallish locked and empty car park. One of the abilities of a python trike is that you can steer it with your legs and ride "hands free".
I started of cautiously but within about 10 minutes I was doing laps of the car park in clockwise and anti-clockwise direction and figure of 8's all with my hands folded in my lap.
Then on one long straight I hit a bit of wind-fallen tree-branch which jinked me off-course; and before I could get my hands out of my lap and onto the bars to slam the anchors on I had run the rear left wheel into a bollard.
The trike stopped dead, the wheel was Taco'd, the axle was bent. I didn't stop dead and was ejected from the seat to land on the deck. Lesson learned.
Last spill I had from a trike broke my shoulder, this was minor in comparison. No blood, not even a scratch, just a bit of an "Oh-****!" moment.
Clean Lycra ?
Or shall we call @Bobsticle ....
