Very windy day, Trike was nice
 
Today I went out with a group of my riding friends on a 30 mile ride. Weather was warm, partly cloudy and the wind was very high. The high wind was where the trike was nice. People were saying they were almost blown off their bike while I was just cruising along. When we turned directly into the head wind I definitely felt it, but not as much as my friends. Just noticing the real positives since I have become a trike rider.

A trike becomes a safety bike when cross winds are blowing you into traffic on your left. Trikes are not nearly as much affected by cross winds.

Also no wobbling into traffic on start up, since you are already clipped in
