I went to the state fair yesterday and they had a BMX bike which steers in the opposite direction than we are used to (pull right and go left). So, for a few buck you can ride it and if you can go straight for about 10 feet you win a bike (was going for my son's first tricycle). Seemed simple enough. Start straight, get your balance, and don't steer. I was a complete failure. I made it about 3 feet each time. Anyone ever see this kind of bike?

The fair also had the worlds smallest horse ($0.5)....another waste to time.

Years ago when my son was much younger, I took him to the fair. The lesson he learned..."The fair's not fair." :no:

sit on the bike's seat facing backwards.




Now, what am I going to do with all these won trikes?
