If you meet a bike (trike) in your car or cart coming at you in a neighborhood does it bug you?

I often walk on the wrong side facing traffic. When I ride my E-bike (I am in no hurry) and when I see a car or fast modified golf car in my rear view mirror, I pull way over on the edge of the road and stop. Of course. I also take only low traffic back streets wherever I go. I would NOT ride a 3 wheel bicycle on the wrong side of the road because that is too much to expect the oncoming drivers to move to the middle of the road to accommodate YOU. I think that you need to rethink your strategy. Maybe do what I do and pull over and stop while riding in the legal direction.
