“It’s called a Whike,” said Ned matter-of-factly, as if I should know exactly what he was talking about. “A recumbent tricycle with a sail,” he continued. “Naturally,” I mocked. Two metres in length, slightly wider than a normal bike, two pedals, two wheels at the back, one at the front, and a 1.6msail mounted on top. This bizarre contraption, I thought to myself, should belong on Mario Kart, not on a road. Nevertheless, Ned promised me that when a strong crosswind catches the Whike’s sail, combined with a good old leg pump, it can reach speeds of over 50km/h. Easy!
