But isn't one of the points that a bike can get where a car/truck can't and doesn't block traffic in the same way? A trike would get stuck and cause more blockages. British roads are not as wide as American ones, but there is usually room to pass a bike.

Right, and could get by on the sidewalk (pavement) if necessary.

But a trike is just so much cooler.

A Fire Trike might be cool, because firefighters tend to be into big trucks and gear, and you could put more chrome and tech on three wheels. But to say that big wheels for grandpas are cooler than choppers and bobbers, denies the danger cool axiom. But maybe I'm just saying this because I'm not 6 years old anymore.
