    Anyone ever come across a two wheeled(on the front) moped looking bike. A lad passed me the other day at the lights in the D5 area on one

    Thanks

    I've seen a couple of these around town, usually I'm going too fast to see what exactly they are. One thing they aren't however is a bike - if its got more than two wheels its a bleeding car!

    Tho I was in France the year before last and at a service area came across a Trike towing a (very) large trailer tent - apalling !

    No, it's not.

    In Cavan there was a great fire / Judge McCarthy was sent to inquire / It would be a shame / If the nuns were to blame / So it had to be caused by a wire.

    A colleague of mine took some nice picks at a bike show in Munich recently. There was some nice 3 wheel sports bikes with 2 wheels at the front.

    It seems some big manufacturers are heading this way for some reason. Might be for safety reasons.
