trike!

I got a trike!



I bought it second hand from someone who just didn't use it. While I was bringing it home, I got a notification that "AirTag Found Moving With You". The previous owner didn't mention an AirTag, but I think it has to be somewhere on the trike. Should I contact the previous owner, or will I be able to find it and take it off myself?

ETA: the person whose pickup I borrowed to transport the trike has an AirTag on her pickup, so I'm assuming that's where the notification came from.

I'd say contact the previous owner. He can tell you where it's located, and -- assuming it was accidental -- he might want it back.

Thanks! It turns out there was an AirTag on the pickup I borrowed. If I get another notification while I am riding the trike, I'll contact the previous owner.

Ooh, enjoy!

[boxofdelights]

Thanks! I am really looking forward to using it to run errands.

That looks absolutely awesome. Enjoy! I hope the overhead shelter doesn't cause trouble in wind.

Thank you! I don't know how annoying it will be on windy days, but I can take the canopy off if it is too annoying.

Lemon yellow! I love it.

[boxofdelights]

Me too! Cars will not be able to not see me.

Nice! I've been debating getting a trike. Let me know how you like it.

[boxofdelights]

I will be posting about it!

[seascribble]

That looks fun as hell

[boxofdelights]

I love it so much already!

A very nice trike.

The previous owner probably wants to know one of their tags is still on the bike, and can probably tell you where it is. If not, it's probably attached somewhere out of the way but accessible.

Thanks! I think the AirTag belongs to the owner of the truck I borrowed to pick up the bike, not to the previous owner of the bike, but if I get another notification when I am going somewhere with the bike, I will ask the previous owner about it.

Hooray!

Trikes are so much fun to ride--in addition to obviating balance problems, their wider design helps to "own your lane" when sharing the road with cars &c.

(I've tried out three trikes, and overdone it each time.)

Plus the yellow brings strong surrey with the fringe on top energy.

I'm lucky enough to live near a bike path, which our city brushes clean of snow as a priority route. I can always get out in the sun, even when it snows! Do you have similar infrastructure?

Re: Hooray!

There is a bike path next to the river a few blocks north of my house. It's part of a bike trail system that is intended to connect the whole city eventually. I walk the dogs there, and see people walking and biking. It looks to me like they are mostly recreational users.

I'm planning to use the trike for errands. The library, farmer's market, post office, a bookstore, two grocery stores, and some friends' houses are all not much more than a mile away on flat ground. Those routes all involve sharing the road with cars, so I guess I am going to find out how safe that is. I think the trike's size, its color, and its canopy are all going to make me harder to overlook!
