There’s no such thing as tailwinds, only headwinds and good days :D

Sounds like a neat story! I’ve added it to my wishlist

@kersploosh@sh.itjust.works I’ve test ridden those, and found them to be too problematic with unbalanced loads (like groceries) and a poor choice on road surfaces as ugly as mine. Appreciate the suggestion, though!

I’ll keep test riding all the locally available options. It’d be nice to not require a car for my longer grocery trips.

@DrBob@lemmy.ca That sounds like the consensus.

@kersploosh@sh.itjust.works Shared rear axel seems a lot less complex than the mess required to do steering to two wheels, but safety for sure makes sense.
I drove trikes (the motorized variety) and while I never crashed, I have seen plenty. Is there really enough speed to do that?

There’s also a method that was used briefly in billboards to check what radios were tuned to as cars drove by. https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/High-tech-billboards-tune-in-to-drivers-tastes-2744204.php

My understanding was it mostly picked up people listening to their aux to radio adapters though.

Interested, but not on discord, which is like the opposite of solarpunk. Bookwyrm would be cool, though, or lemmy/kbin/etc
