I must admit, I have a love for Trikes, not very convenient in the traffic as you have to sit and wait with the cages. But I do love them..

There's a second, black, lever behind the clutch lever. If I had to guess...

I wonder if this is a disabled rider? Kinda funky looking luggage rack. Wheelchair holder?
