Polycyclists

Polycyclists are individuals who engage in cycling using bicycles with more than two wheels. While the most common bicycle has two wheels, polycyclists utilize configurations such as tricycles (three wheels) and quadricycles (four wheels). These vehicles offer increased stability compared to traditional bicycles, making them an attractive option for a variety of users.

Tricycles, for example, are frequently used by children learning to ride, individuals with balance issues, or for carrying heavier loads. Quadricycles, while less common, can provide even greater stability and carrying capacity. Some polycyclic designs incorporate tandem seating, allowing multiple riders to pedal together. The design and purpose of polycyclic bicycles can vary widely, from recreational personal transport to specialized utility vehicles. The term "polycyclist" encompasses anyone who operates such a multi-wheeled cycle.
