Tricycle racing games.

Question
Dear Tad

Can tricycle racing road games events be organised?.

Can tricycle racing games be considered in Olympic games?.

Thanks

Answer
Prashant,

Tricycle racing was very popular in England in the early 1980's. Well, maybe "very" is too strong of a word! It was popular for a while.

To organize racing it would first take enough people that ride tricycles. Then enough of those riders would have to be interested in racing. Then after you get enough people racing and can sustain it for years then you can approach the Olympic Organizing Committee with the proposal to first be an exhibition sport then if that is received a full Olympic sport.

So you can see that the chances would be pretty slim that it would become an Olympic sport.

I always thought those racing trikes from the '80's were pretty cool. I always keep an eye open for one. Check out this website: http://classiccycleus.com/home/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Ken-Rogers-Trike.jpg

Thanks for the questions!
