I do really like Peachtree City GA’s “attitude” towards golf carts - It started of course many years ago when Peachtree City was big-time airline pilot (Delta, Eastern, etc. hub up the road in the ATL) as an out-of-city residential (and golf course heavy) town. So they laid out golf cart tracks behind all the subdivisions, crossed roads with golf cart tracks, then bridges over creeks and highways, then pretty much “officially’ let and encouraged everybody (older than 12 ??) drive the family’s golf carts everywhere to everything - without being on the regular roads.

Schools, church, shops, groceries, 4th of July fireworks, the golf courses themselves, barbershops, cleaners ... everywhere you need something there’s a golf cart trail to it.

The worst part about riding that bike is having to tell your mother that you’re gay

[Red Badger]

You’d love “The Villages”...............

[Hot Tabasco]

Totally useless. I can’t for the life of me figure out what an extra front tire and fork can accomplish.

[moovova]

Maybe if it had a gas engine.

[Clarancebeaks]

Looks to me like sticks, mud and other debris would build up between the wheels.

why not a dirt bike instead?

earliest Trek mountain bikes ever made. It was a preproduction display only model that was sold to me mistakingly by a bike store near OSU Columbus in late 1982.

Mine is the mid 80's Specialized rock hopper

An interesting aside is that many of the motos seen at the Tour de France have similar ‘dual wheel’ fronts. My guess is that it is for stability as their job is to get the photographers and videographers up close and personal.

I live in biker heaven up here in the North Carolina mountains. Every time I see one of these souped-up Walmart scooters, I cringe...

“Mine is the mid 80’s Specialized rock hopper”

I remember those they were very popular bikes. I had a Trek road bike and the trek mountains bike.

I rode nearly every single day from 1980 to about ‘93-94. rarely missed except worst of snow days. Have not rode since then. Lost interest.

We see lots of them in Florida! They ain’t cheap!...........

Likewise. I have a 2015 DR650SE on the back porch. Purchased used in early December...just in time for sub-freezing weather. My prior 2009 model delivered 55 MPG. It goes anywhere I dare to ride it.

“It’s made for lefties wearing those goofy helmets on paved bike trails”

I wiped out my road bike on the Delaware OH State park paved trails in May 1984 right before I graduated. I remember it well. I was flying downhill about about 35 mph.
I was an accomplished biker then but lost control..I got stupid

Broke my collarbone in 2 places, major road rash, fractured bones in my wrist

That goofy helmet save my head as my head hit the pavement hard
