The kid with the trike. I had one like that at his age also and hated it. It was heavy and awkward, couldn't take a sharp turn like the other kids with real bikes. I was ashamed of it like i was a baby with a tricycle. I never got a real bike till I turned 12 and got a paper route and bought one with my own money. Sob sob... :o

That's right too! No brakes, just the full time chain driven pedals. I actually rode it only once, down hill, pedals whirling, feet out to the sides, straight into a power pole at the bottom of the hill. It never left the basement again.
