You know, I just figured out something I should have long ago.
When you get hit in the rear on a bike, well you don't hurt your neck or back from the initial impact. Definitely you might on the secondary if your actual body hits the hood of the car or the ground, but not the initial impact car to bike.

In a car, you don't because there is a head rest. Now look at the Tryckle. It has a seat but no head rest. On even a medium level hit, there are likely problems for your neck and back. A full seat with headrest is advised, big time!

So, duh, never use this half sized seat type on a street machine. How come I'd never come across this issue before for a trike? Weird World.

And don't drive a car manufactured before 1/1/69 (mandated seat head restraints
