The Toy
by
Ben HewittIf, like us, you’ve never forgotten the simple joy of your first tricycle, you’ll cheer at the release of
FITTER’S TRIKKE, which brings the same sense of three-wheeled freedom to an adult-friendly design. There are no pedals on the Trikke; instead, like in-line skating, the machine relies on a rhythmic, side-to-side weight-transfer motion to propel you down memory lane (or wherever you happen to be riding, assuming it’s paved and relatively flat). Our favorite is the Trikke8, which boasts hand brakes; stable, smooth-rolling 8-inch wheels; and easily hits speeds in the upper-teens. If only your first tricycle had gone so fast. Actually, it’s probably a good thing it didn’t. $250. (800) 348-8371,
