Or the guy my first trip to Deal's Gap. In a wheelchair with a specially equipped chopper type trike with a platform for his wheelchair and a seat for his wife on back. Totally cool.

Disability, sure, but not age.

My guess is most 3-wheelers never rode a bike before.
Age = less strength, arthritis from old age, bad knees, etc etc...I have an uncle who got super old and his legs lost alot of strength, he couldnt safely hold up a big gold wing so he triked it and didnt have to give up riding.

I cant believe you guys are dogging people for riding trikes. Regardless of their reasons (and most have a GOOD reason) at least they are RIDING.
