    There’s a reason they stopped making trikes with the single turning wheel upfront. Hopefully, this guy doesn’t learn that lesson.

      It’s for dumbasses who think they are smart because they don’t have to wear helmet and look cool whil riding trikes. These things disappeared over night here when the laws changed.
