People get the idea these trikes are safer. They are not. One of the things women and we short riders have a problem with is a fear of dropping the bike. Bikes like to be going over 10 mph, they feel better once some stability is in the wheels. Most people feel pretty confident at normal road speeds but often shorter riders, especially women who don't have the physical strength, are fearful of every stop, every fillup, every coffeehouse. The trike seems to solve all this but in reality a reasonably skilled motoryclist is going to be better off. It is much easier to avoid trouble with the agility and small size.
