I agree 100%.  I just got the Dacta Community Workers set as well and I threw
the trikes in my junk bin right away.  These things are awful but my guess is
that LEGO and/or kids find them more playable because they don't fall down all
the time.  One bonus though is that set does come with 2 bicycles.

I would personally kill for some 2 wheeled motor-cycles.  But I have no use for
the trikes.

Another great point!  I was searching for some cars just yesterday buy to
include in my LEGO town scene because cars arn't my thing just yet.  I couldn't
find a thing that didn't look like junk.  I ended up just going back to
Brickshelf and building some cars from instructions there.
