    Hi all,

    I ride a recumbent trike. I find - in general - drivers are very
    polite around me. After a few discussions with passers by and so I
    think I have the reason.

    It kinda looks like a wheel chair. Many many times I have been asked
    if I can walk (what the hell do they think is spinning the pedals). I
    am wondering if drivers think I have some sort of disability and that
    they should be extra polite to me.

    Thoughts/comments?

    I ride a recumbent trike - http://tinyurl.com/32brk - and I am disabled and
    I can't walk.

    Drivers, pedestrians etc are generally pretty polite and patient around me
    so you may well be right :-)

    Cool bike, Russ - I can't recall seeing a picture before. Do you ride
    on the roads much?
