Carrying a trike over the shoulder

Post by belgiangoth »

Never seen this mentioned before, seen fleetingly in this video (blink and you miss it, at about 10 seconds)

Is this a practical move that requires some/little/no instruction, or is it just a flash move for a video?
If I had a baby elephant, I would put it on a recumbent trike so that it would become invisible.

It depends on the shape of the seat and where the balance point is.
My trike balances just behind the love handles on the hard shell seat.
So if I put it on my shoulder like that, the handle will dig in.
But it will balance on my hand with the seat against my arm.
That's how I lift it if I need to pass through a unrideable gap.

Plus you need to deal with the weight ....... :(

Luck ............ :D
