Leo Laporte Gets a New Tricycle

[peewee2627]

I saw someone riding one of those when I was delivering mail! They said it was a kit. It costs 6,000 bucks!!!

[dregerclock]

Now that Leo has had his trike for a few months... we need to see the "Leo commutes to work on his trike" video! HAHAaa. I've had my trike for 6 months and love it. I try to commute to work once or twice a week. And had fun shooting a video of my commute!

[stevegek]

Awesome, I had my first recumbent trike ride yesterday and loved it. Especially how fast you could go through corners.. it's like a go kart but healthier and better for our beloved earth.

I do own a recumbent bike, which I love too.. but trike's are just more fun. Would love to see some recumbent trike races on smaller circuits.. :)

[lesarin]

I have a bad feeling this is the way Leo will go out. lol.

Ask someone to make a helmet with a TWiT logo.

I'll buy one.

[randyrat]

Leo, enjoy your TT! I have had one for about five years now and love it. But, as everyone else says, GET A DAMN HELMET!

[KutWrite]

Everyone? A helmet is not really needed on a trike, unless you hit high speeds. If you crash, your feet hit first. Ifyou fall, your elbows get scraped.

The US is the only country so preoccupied with being safe 100% of the time.

[MD2389]

Leo, you might want to requisition yourself some sunglasses. :)

[dregerclock]

Leo, please take all these comments about wearing helmets and not riding on the sidewalks, getting lights and flags for your trike as a sign that people care for you! We want you to enjoy your trike, and stay safe so we can continue enjoying your radio and web programs! This is a good practical advice site about bike riding on the streets: bicyclesafe . com -- how not to get hit by cars -- have fun, enjoy your trike and be safe.

[MacSmiley]

Where's your HELMET, Leo?? I don't wanna see any TWiT episodes entitled "This is your brain on pavement" !!!

[begottenson]

great bike

[dregerclock]

I commute to work 13.5 miles one way a few times a week on my trike... it is NOT too low or invisible if you follow rules of the raod, get a flag and lights. For one... STAY OFF THE SIDEWALKS... you will get run over by a car coming from a driveway! Second, Leo... get some straps or clip in peddles/ shoes or you will slip your foot on a peddle and hurt your legs! but other than that... it is a great, fun and reliable way to ride and enjoy riding!

[rld009]

Leo put a video recorder or webcam on the bike so we can experience the ride!

[NorCalExplorer]

It is to low to the ground. A car coming out of a drive way would never see you. I do like the general idea of sitting back to ride and the idea of three wheels is good so you can rest when you stop. Good for older guys like Leo and my self.

[agentshawnee]

No riding on the sidewalk sir :p

[claren44]

Put several TALL flags on the back Leo. Then they can't claim that they couldn't see you down that low. lol too cool

[theatomiceye]

I've seen a fwe of those on the road, they look great for the back. I want one!

[doug2957]

I vote for the webcam as well, that way if another jerk throws a bottle, you'll have the license number.

[RegisteredPwner]

This is great! lolz.

I wonder how much the trike cost.

[TheLarssan]

Very cool!

[SphereCat1]

Haha! That looks awesome! I vote webcam too. :)

[jruggiero]

Very cool! From where do you get one of those?

[bigredmer]

All I have to say is: Leo...you're a TWiT!

[cocarmichael]

Very nice Leo! It would be interesting to see you "pop a wheelie" on that one!

[thekeddi]

Another vote for the webcam!! hehehe, Then you will look like a real geek!

[g4tech]

Put a laptop and a webcam on there

[LosHavros]

Yea, definitely putting a webcam on it would be sweet- and broadcast it to the TWiT network!

[GhSpecialist]

This is awesome Leo!
