I agree totally. Where did all of the lowracers go? Pretty much gone if chatter on bent boards are anything to judge by.
The MWRR was pretty much ruled by trikes.
Even highracers are seldom seen in my area any more. There are still a few LWBs but low are history and high are fading fast. In my group, five of us ride trikes where we used to ride and high two wheelers.
Anyway, trike sales are booming and I suppose that's a good thing.
