TRIKES: WE LIKES TRIKES - and trikes are always welcome on our rides. I ride a trike myself. We do ask that (unless ride leader or tail gunner) trikes ride in the right track and keep a motorcycle between trikes if possible. We do that for safety and so both the ride leader and the tail gunner have better visibility. OPEN TUESDAY RIDES: Fort Myers Chapter FL2-G has open rides every Tuesday morning at 9AM.
