You'll find a range of reasons why people choose tricycles over bicycles. Here are just a handful. If you're not confident riding a bike, you may feel better riding a trike. Tricycles are stable and very hard to tip over. Tricycles are eco-friendly vehicles for running errands that might be harder to complete with a bicycle, such as grocery shopping. Most tricycles are extremely comfortable and easy to ride. Tricycles are great for people with balance issues, seniors, or anyone else who might be worried about falling off a bike.
