Ever want one of those old fashion big wheel bikes?

They still make them, for sale at reasonable prices.

I might just get one of those trike versions, too worried about falling off the two wheeled ones.

They made them so big because they had to compete with horses.

After 2 tricycles, 2 Hot Cycles, and a Green Machine, I decided to grow up to riding rear wheel drive bicycles. Besides, riding that tall front driver is like driving a Model T Ford. You'll have to re-learn everything.

Has anyone ever seen the tee shrit with a big wheel that says "We all learned at a young age that FWD sucks."

Does the trike have a posi rear or a one wheel peeler? Plus, they should modernize them by adding disc brakes.

BTW, I believe that a "handlebar" mustache is required when riding one of those. :D
