Racing Tricycles? What the hell.
Well I’ll be damned, apparently it is a thing. A thing that dates back to the 1920’s according to http://www.tricycleassociation.org.uk/ and still happens today. It’s even kept up with the technology.
I’ve never been on one of these sweet rides but I imagine I’ll try to track down an even when I make a trip to Wales. In the meantime here’s some links to conversion kits and a few pictures of the best/worst of the best/worst.

Example of it being a thing.
Fixed gear, track trike?
So gross. So very, very gross.
You know what? Some where, there’s a girl that will ride this with me. She’s probably off somewhere yelling “ON YOUR LEFT!!1”
Reverse trike mixte with disc brakes.
I guess when I get old and can’t balance a bike this will be my preferred ride. Maybe not in the lavender though.
