So, the implication is that you see some "beardie weirdies" on bents and that means all bent riders are that way. OTOH, I have noticed that a lot of the homeless people around here are on mountain bikes, I can feel free to make unflattering assumptions about mountain bikes?

Saw a post in Bentrider recently; a new triker who said he was having trouble with pedal wobble. Didn't say whether or not he was clean-shaven.

Warning, I'm going to use that phrase somewhere.

Please do!
See what I mean? Those guys were sideways the whole way down. No handling skills at all. All they need is beards and rugby shorts and they'd fit in perfectly with the crowd I'm speaking of.

I think those people standing around down lower were lookouts for that very thing. Agreed on breaking my neck. My concern would be if I came off the tricycle, I'd be afraid I'd roll to the bottom regardless!
Rydabent, hopefully you recognized there was some humorous intent in my posting of that video. I didn't go looking for it, I just ran across it on wimp.com while killing time, and remembered the "3 wheel menaces" line up above there! It looked to me like those tricycles didn't actually have pedals, just foot pegs, so they're pure roll-down-the-hill machines.

Yes, that is the Hudson. This is on the Dutchess County Rail Trail (with about 30 other 'bent riders). Everybody had a blast.

OOOh OOOh, he needs to wear some kind of mask and his weapon should be some kind of riding crop, His M.O. should be he is racing by unsuspecting pedestrians and swatting them on the butt as he zooms by but prefers regular bike riders. LOL

I was honestly wondering if my wife was going to sprout a beard from riding a tadpole. Guess I know now....she's already got the 'bent grin.
