Answer 1

Answer 2

i would say no but that would also depend on you state or city;s laws

Answer 3

That would depend on your age......  

If it's you, it may get you on the local evening news.

If it's your unattended 3 year old, DCFS may show up. On the up side, you'll still be on the news.

Answer 4

Unless you want to end up under someone's SUV I don't suggest trying it.

Answer 5

If you're an adult a trike is called a recumbent, sometimes affectionately called a "Bent". Recumbent bikes come in two, 3 sometimes 4 wheeled set ups. They are the fastest bikes around! Most world records for speed on a bike are on "bents".

So if you need to "take the lane" for safety, avoid a door or debris, you may be right up there with the speed of cars.

Bents are faster than standard bikes on flat and downhill (extreeeeemly aerodynamic) they can be slower uphill.  Most are lower to the ground so be sure to equip with flags, bright and visible clothing.

But if you're talking about a child's tricycle .... never mind. That should be playground only.

Answer 6

Answer 7

yes it's fine.

Answer 8
