Tricycles

Unofficial announcement: The tricycle has been made significantly cheaper. Steel and iron costs have been roughly quartered and the rubber cost halved. This changes the tricycle from completely useless (more expensive than a bike and half the capacity) to a rather nice deal (less than half the cost of the bike, and just as useful if you travel light, since it moves at the same speed).
Nifty.

Of course... people will laugh and point as you go peddling down the road, but it's a small price to pay.

I can't wait to start my very own Tryker gang.

It is now effectively a much slower dirt motorcycle for less then a seventh of the cost.

Lol don't do that! (make jokes) It's like night-time, everyone's asleep, and I laughed out loud!! (kind of snorted than laughed). I reckon I woked someone up.. just imagining some loin-clothed guy with a crossbow on his back hunched over a really really tiny tricycle...

We used to have tricycles where I worked to get around the site... much safer than bikes on slippery floors. It took me a long time to be able to corner on them, you deliberately had to avoid leaning into the bend.

I used to have a plastic tricycle with plastic wheels. If I peddled as fast as I could, I could stop and slide sideways for 3 or 4 feet. It was a blast. I'd do it right now if I could.

Hmmm and I had formed the mistaken opinion that Sho didn't play the game....

Sho reads the wiki.

Sho usually writes the damned thing too...
When are we getting our player-access to the manufacturing lists/database?

That's my point if he writes it and its in there he must have got it by playing...

In which case your point is based on an error
Sho doesn't currently play
Sho reads the wiki and writes
some of it
In this case the wiki article was written by wichita - but even if it has been written by Sho that isn't evidence he plays.
