In MD the definition of bicycles is limited to 3 wheeels. So, it's technically not even a bike around these parts.

Same where I live only it's more restrictive. Legaly a bike is defined as two wheels in tandem with at least one larger then 20" here. So that rules out Dicycles, all adult trikes delta/traditional/recumbent/tadpole, quadracycles and other configurations like the 8Rad (a 8 wheeled flatbed cargo bike).
I know that because of a Rhoades Car, in Ohio their definition was changed last year to remove the wheel number verbiage making quadracycles legal there.
