So what kind of speeds is a normal, non-elite athlete going to cruise at in these? And where can you ride them? I don’t fancy sharing the roads with monster trucks in something so low to the ground.
Downhill or flat land, you can probably get going pretty fast. Uphill, these things are dogshit.
People who do ride recumbent trikes or velomobiles usually have a flag on a pole to help with visibility, but I would probably not take one of these things on my daily commute. I’ve only ever seen people ride them on bike trails and sidewalks, maybe a side street here and there.
Generally, I think you’d probably be fine but rules vary from state to state and even trail to trail so I don’t know that there’s a hard answer to that one.
