Did the same myself. We used to roll backwards down an incline and do burnouts with the front wheel. Wore a hole in mine. LOL

I also hung my little 9 volt transistor radio on the handle bar.

Bennie Hill never wore a helmet. Of course he was a grown up.

Tricycles and the bumps/bruises obtained from riding them are a rite of passage. And since boys make up the most injuries, I’d say it’s from hotdogging a trike, not simply riding one and falling off. My brother and I used to do (or try to do) some crazy stuff on ours back in the day.

Kids just aren’t as tough. In 1964 I rode mine down a flight of concrete steps with no long term effects. I think.

 

Amateurs.

 

This is me. And I'm fine. Apart from the spastic drooling, loss of brain function, and tendency to vote for democrats.

lol too funny! Heck, my sons took their tricycles & big wheels as fast as they could down any incline they could. They all survived.... all engineers too. Maybe it knocked some sense in to them.

My youngest really didn’t go for the tricycle. When he was four, he took the neighbor’s mechanic’s dolly, the kind you lie on to work under the car, and lay back on it while he rode it down the driveway.

We called it “driveway luge.” He’s an engineer, too, and we still laugh about it.

Liberal - Cage.

Assembly required.

1: Get a liberal
2: Get a cage
3: Put the liberal in the cage.
4: Sell tickets
5: Show children the animal that nearly destroyed civilization.

6: Continue on with a better life in a liberal free environment.

I remember those home made Evel Knievel plywood ramps for the daredevil bicyclists in the neighborhood.

I like your idea.

Only problem is, nobody is buying tickets. And I guess I need to feed her. This might get expensive.

Ban tricycles and pass a law requiring quadcycles. If that doesn’t work we can go to whatever the word would be for 5cycles.

I really don’t get it. Everytime I post the liberal/cage thing, someone always asks about the cost of feeding them.

Clearly no part of my plan called for feeding them. Every BLM official will tell you NEVER feed the animals.

Thus there is no provision in my plan to feed the caged liberal. I am law abiding afterall...

...also drinking mothers’ milk and going to church on Sunday are bad for your health as well.
