She looks a bit like my #2 grandaughter. I call her Dora. She doesn’t ride a trike anymore, she is in a kart now. I have it tuned way down, but she still tries to slide it around the track when it’s wet. A little more power and she’ll have it.

My siblings all voted me most likely to die before adulthood. 32 years ago. I still do dumb stuff, but thankfully I almost always make it in monday to my cushy office chair to recover for 5 days

I walked by a set of bleachers last week...the top seat was around 5 feet off the ground. An the back and sides of the bleachers had a chain link fence on it, serving as a guard rail.

Initially, it made sense to me - somebody could fall off and sue.

But then I snapped out of it, and was a little sad. Its come to this - we need guard rails on a 5 ft tall bleacher.

Kids just aren’t as tough these days.

With plastic low center of gravity trikes and dorky helmets, how is that possible.

Early fifties we rode American iron trikes with wire spoke wheel, steel seats, and a high center of gravity. No decals, hell even the mfr’s name plate was enameled steel riveted to the center post. We carried more passengers than a Mexican bus, waving cap pistols and wooden swords. You took a tumble, took your road rash and mounted back up. Moms cleaned the wounds after we got home.

Huh...looking back, seems like we were Hell’s Angel junior auxiliary

Geez. I’m 57 years old and if I’d ever worn a helmet on a trike or bike I’d have gotten my butt beat up every day!

My kids had more falls learning to walk than they ever had on a bike.

How many times did we mothers scream "walk" when the little bats out of hell took off.
