And it is happening now. If it is too cold for the slight amount of remaining open air that is around you then there is ice on the road and no outrigger will help you then after you are sliding on your side toward whatever. It's time for the third wheel. Gyros make a cool functioning show bike but the Lit might just as well be made by Honda as a one off toy to prove a concept. Too expensive and still years away and still just two small contact patches keep you pointing where you want to go. No office lady is ever going to ride that to work even if gas is $20/ gallon. Not if there is a three wheeled option that is just as light and almost as aero.
Don't let Craig catch you doin' P&G!
