I saw some young hipsters riding the Trikke-type of "bike" about five years ago on a Chicago street when I was taking a shortcut through an industrial area without much traffic. They took the whole lane going from side to side, and would erratically swing over and back every block or so to maintain their momentum. Definitely not compatible with street traffic (or even on the bike paths through the parks--the real bikers wouldn't like them, I wouldn't think), and I saw these "bikes" only the one time.
I wonder if this new Fliz vehicle will ever make it to the streets here.
