Shake Down Cruise

 Well, I've had a couple of days to ride my new trike and do minor adjustments.  I learned the first time out that two miles on the first day was a little ambitious, but I made it, and, so far, everything is going well.

I was worried at first because I thought that the trike had a tendency to veer to the left.

I have learned that it does - and it doesn't.  All the drive comes from the right rear wheel, so when you start up it is the only one turning for a fraction of a second, and it tends to push the trike toward the left.  Once you are rolling and all the wheels are turning, a sort of gyroscope effect kicks in and the trike rolls straight.
