    One of the greatest toys ever. So many injuries. No regrets.

    We could not afford it, but my cousin had one and we would take turns flinging ourselves down their ridiculously steep and long driveway.

      I am imagining many shins getting thwacked by madly spinning pedals as it barrels down a steep hill. No ability to coast (right?) So if it goes too fast on a steep hill, you’d have to remove your feet from the pedals and try not to get beat up by it.

        Like I said, many injuries. Plus, your feet were the brakes/stabilizers, so they were too busy keeping you alive to pedal.
