My views of the sharing economy:
1. Airbnb and home sharing - Nope. I figure the owners all have hidden cameras, and when I'm alone in a room by myself, things happen that no one should see. 2. Uber/Lyft and other car share stuff - Great concept when it started. Now it's basically non-certified taxis driven by third world taxi drivers in their off hours. I use them a lot, but I use them less now that they make the drivers beg for tips. 3. Scooters and bikes and stuff. I would certainly use these. I just don't have much opportunity. I have a large walking radius, and beyond that I'm generally taking a bus or I'm driving/ubering. 4. Rent someone's personal car. I've never done it. I'm not averse to it, but I like the implied homogeneity and reliability of the rental car companies. I'm not likely to try it for that reason. 5. Household stuff sharing. I saw something a while back about a site where you can share household goods back and forth. This is for things that you need once in a while but not often, like an electric screwdriver or a pony or a snowblower. It seems like it could be a good idea, but I don't remember the site and I seldom need something expensive that I don't already have.

I've been really enamored with buying a recumbent trike recently. But a friend who's a big bike guy is talking me out of it with logic and reason.

To own. There's a guy in my neighborhood that has one and he really gets around. Haven't seen him pedal yet. Don't get a trike , they make people think you're too stupid to keep your balance.

Ah, well that's different , when people see you in one of those they think you're cool. Well, cool and can't keep your balance.

At least one of those is accurate.

dude that is so your personal brand. I also see you with the helmet with the little rear-view mirror hanging off the side.

And I assume you just get the rear-view-mirror helmet when you buy the bike, right?

I've thought about it many times. I'm thinking of investing in a good bike. I currently have a 20 y/o street bike I ride to work sometimes. I like the thicker tires cause I can jump off curbs and take on trails. But the skinny tires are better for longer rides.
