FWIW, the bicycles stuck for life.

You still can play with bicycles for part of the week and motorcycles for the other times! <grin>

I looked around and said “what about me? Can I get a motorcycle?” Their answer was “No, you’ll kill yourself!”, and I went motorcyceless.
When I had to turn the family truck over to my brother and get my own car, I found a 1968 Chevelle SS 454 that I could afford with my own money, I was again told “No, you’ll kill yourself!” When I found a brand new 1973 Nova 350, again with the “No, you’ll kill yourself!”. I ended up with a 1973 Vega…oh the joy!
When my brother had to get something to replace the truck…because he intentionally ruined the engine…he found a Camaro SS 327. Yep, he got it. Meanwhile my Vega was making the Saudi royal family extremely happy since I was buying more oil than gas. I started riding a bike partly because I couldn’t afford oil and partly because I need to lose some weight.
Fast forward to today: My uberfit all his life brother who never had an ounce of excess weight still rides motorcycles and looks like Santa Claus…beard and all. He needs no padding. I’ve spent the last 40+ years riding bicycles and, while I look a bit like Santa, I’d need extra padding to pull off the look. I don’t have a motorcycle and probably put in more miles on my bicycle per year than he does his motorcycle
By the way, the go-cart? He never could have built it. He didn’t have a welder nor the skills to put the damn thing together.
