'bent' bikes

[TsPoet]

This may sound dumb but I've gotta ask - Are the trikes (the ones where you sit a foot or so off the ground) street legal? Go carts aren't legal to ride on the streets here because they sit so low that drivers can't see them. The trikes look like fun, but I'd be afraid to ride them on the street even if they are legal.

yes. I do fly a flag on mine. There are long arguments about how effective a flag is, or even if it might be dangerous in and of itself. But, "I didn't see you" is bogus - it's all about what you are used to and what you "see". Ever seen the selective attention video?

lots of stories and arguments on the topic.
But, when I read the WA state statutes on "bikes" they have a legal height the pedals can be - which makes my trike legal, but my high racer, which is much more similar to a DF bike, illegal.
