Due to recumbent trikes being close to the ground it can sometimes be hard for high up vehicles to see them. This can be a cause of concern for many trike riders. Worry not though because there's a solution to help you stay safe and look stylish while you do it!
Flags can help add needed height to your trike. Recumbent trikes are typically close to the ground, because of this it can be difficult for taller vehicles to see them. Flags can help to prevent possible accidents by adding extra height to your trike.
On top of adding height to your trike many flags are bright colors or reflective. Bright colors can help you to be seen in situations where you may not be as visible. A reflective flag can come in handy if it's low visibility when you're out riding. Reflective flags will help people in vehicles be able to better see you.
With all of this being said it is also a good idea to wear high visibility clothing and protective gear while riding. while a flag can help you be seen, wearing high visibility clothes help and nothing beats a helmet.
