Yes, and it’s tough making a tricycle look macho. I think lawn mower is the best look they could hope for, macho-ness wise.

If I can’t ride my bike anymore I’m getting something like a [Polaris Slingshot](http://www.cycleworld.com/2014/07/27/2015-polaris-slingshot-motorcycle-review-first-ride-three-wheeler-photos-specifications/). I’ve talked with one owner and they’re everything they appear to be. They’ll pull a mid .8g cornering and are wicked fast as long as you leave the traction control on. Otherwise you just fry the single back tire.
