Does this even count as a bicycle?
Or tricycle, to be more accurate. It's weird. Weird and cool.

Since it's hand powered, I'm guessing it's more like an awkward wheel chair. Mobility yes; transportation no.

Novelty item in what the toy industry used to call the "Wheel Goods" category.
|
A new trend in brake-less fixies
|
If not for the caster, it would be a dicycle since the wheels are not in line (in tandem) with each other.
|
Since it has the caster it more accurately resembles a folded DaHon.

That looks like a lot of fun, OP! When I was a kid, my cousin had a Sit-N-Spin ....same idea, but it was made of cheesy plastic. I LOVED that thing! I wish I had one now! (I'll take the metal one in the pic....steel is real!)
As adults, our only real option is to get a zero-turn mower.... After mowing the grass, you can just spin around in circles for a while and go "WEEEeeee!!!!!". (I'm actually in the market for a zero-turn....seriously!) EDIT: What my cuz had musta been called something else...I just looked up Sit-N-Spin, and it wasn't it! Edit #2: Ha! Found it!- like this!: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com...9a5bba5b58.jpg |

My cousins had one when we were kids. It was really cool. You wouldn't believe how fast you could get it spinning in circles. That's the best cheap high when you're 6 years old.

The sit and spin of my generation was a disk with a round handle up the middle which you straddled, much like a "teacup" ride. I can only imagine some kid must have broken wrists or some other injury on the previous? design.

It was called either a Crazy Car, Crazy Wheels, Whiz Wheel, Krazy Kar, or Turn-N-Go.
You win the internet! It's a "Krazy Kar"! [I'm stuffing the internet into a box right now, so's I can ship it to ya! :D) https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon....1672DFT20L.jpg |

Growing up, I never had a Sit-N-Spin, but a friend of mine did. I loved the thing, even though I got sick pretty much every time I gave it a go. :lol:

Man! I had one of those when I was a kid. Loved that thing!
We should be able to drive down the street and point and say :"Look! There's my lawyer spinning in his driveway in his Krazy Kar!". |
Looks fun, but I don't think it beats out the "green machine" I had as a kid. Recline, pedal fast, and steers like a tank...it was the best!
