On your trike
Now if you could rent these out in Sainsbury's or Tesco's to take your weekly shop home, that would be perfect.

I see a woman with something similar, only two kids seats on the front, pushing it up the hill in Greenwich Park every day. It looks heavy as hell, and she really puts her back into pushing it :shock: Fair play to her though she does it come rain or shine, and when the weathers really foul, let's the kids stay undercover on the front.pain is temporary, the glory of beating your mates to the top of the hill lasts forever.....................

Yep, she looks absolutely knackered by the top, but she's always there the next morning :shock:

We struggle to get enough room on the roads with only 2 wheels, imagine the motorists outcry if these things were common on our roads, they wouldn't even fit on most of the "cycle lanes" around my manor! Plus they'd be too slow to keep up with the traffic, they'd block the roads at traffic lights and be slow at accelerating.
It's a poorly conceived gimmick that'll never catch on........I'm out!Pictures are better than words because some words are big and hard to understand.

i've seen a few around here, mostly in Bushy park. look rather fun have to say, i suspect they would get more room than your normal bike, i get more with big green and it's full paniers.0

I come up from the direction of Lee Terrace through Blackheath Village. Yep we probably have passed each other (more likely you have passed me in my crappy brown hybrid).0

I come over Shooters Hill, and enter the park from the side. Keep an eye out for a red Trek 1.5 road bike entering the roundabout at the top of the hill at speed from the right. I'm normally in red and white as well, as I'm a complete tart :roll:pain is temporary, the glory of beating your mates to the top of the hill lasts forever.....................

Dacre Park, down past St Joseph's, up Heath Lane and over to Elverson DLR was part of my commute when I started last year. Then I decided I'd rather risk the roundabout at Lewisham DLR than a coronary on the hills. I might start going back that route what with the recent traffic due to the roadworks on Blackheath - and it is more pleasant. I'm sure I'll be better on the hills now ... not :roll:0

One of these passed through a junction in Fulham this morning, and a gentleman walking passed turned to me and said "how about that, eh?" in a "why haven't you got one of those" tone...0

Rather nicely, our local Waitrose lends bike trailers for free, they just have to be returned within a few days.
Fortunately it was fairly low speed, so I was fine bar a few bruises - but the trailer was a bit skew to say the least.David
