We’ve been talking about “trikes” (tricycles) a lot at the store lately. I still think the ones that my sisters and I had as kids were the best ever made. They had red fenders with golden sparkly flames on them and red and white vinyl tassels on the handle bars. The seats were that crazy sparkly red vinyl and most importantly they had a generous back step with treads, for another passenger, to be ridden like a scooter or to be pushed by someone else (hi-jacked).

This, however, is pretty great too.

I feel a little better about hanging my rusty bike on the wall as art now that I’ve seen this. This is better.

Oh, Wow! A Fireman’s Bicycle? Well, it must be, it’s red. Maybe this is the answer to some of our urban budget cuts. I can imagine that here in NYC, the fireman might arrive faster by bike, because it would definitely be easier to get through traffic. It would be pretty funny if they put a proper fire truck siren on it. Somehow, I don’t think, “dring, dring…dring, dring!” would clear traffic.
