Hello, I'm new to the group and I'm glad I found this site. Are there
Catrike members out there who live in California? I would like to ride
with other trikes for visibility on the road. I don't feel safe riding
solo since the trike sits very low and I'm afraid that the orange flag
may not be sufficient. My wife (who rides another trike) and I only
ride in the park where the roads are closed to vehicular traffic, but
I want to venture out more.

Rick
