And some people complain about recumbent trikes taking up too much width on the MUP! The riders of the Trikke are taking up about twice the width.

You realize of course that your statement is simply a variation on the classic "I'm not as bad as so and so". Personally, I have no major issue with trikes or even those four person pedal carriages they rent down at Navy Pier. Some do yield the right of way to others. I just wish they all did.
