No sir, I say again ... you claimed "a viable alternative" and I explained why a trike, for me, is not a "viable alternative." It is too risky. I ride with no pain and get hit by a car? Not a net gain.
Then you go off an a pro-bent rant. Well, WTF?? I didn't come out against bents. In this thread I actually suggest them. Why are you using me as a platform from which to preach?
Fact is ... for those who like facts, I know such folks are few and far between ... you said a bent was a "viable alternative" and I said for me it was not and explained why.
Instead of accepting that, you see some need to tell me I am wrong.
Look ... I am sorry you are one of those zealots who has to constantly tell people "Bents are Better!" just because they are better for you. Please, try to gain some perspective.
You say

Well, Stop being overzealous and listen to what other riders say. Maybe bent riders would get more respect if they gave more.
