As usual, a solution to a non-problem which will inhibit the learning of the very skill which they are supposed to learn. Take off the training wheels, take off the pedals, lower the saddle. Let them scoot until they get the idea of steering. The pedals on, raise the saddle and off you go. It took 45 minutes to teach my youngest to ride a bike. - Just zis  Guy, you know?

[edit] Picture of children's tricycle needed

A picture of children's tricycle would be nice to add to the other forms of tricycles allready pictured since that is what I think allot of people think of when they hear the word tricycle. --Cab88 18:17, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

is there such thing as request for photo's. --CyclePat 02:02, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
Yah! those who want a help out. user:CyclePat/wikipedia:request for media

humm... we could decide the name... request for images (RfI isn't taken)? request for photo (RfP)? dunno? any hints? --CyclePat 02:36, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

I have no way of getting a picture of a children's tricycle either, but I definitely think the article should have one. There should also be mention of children's tricycles in the article. Zweifel 18:44, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Tricycle

I wonder, with three "other uses" at the top of the article now, should a disambig page be created? The top of this article could be made a bit less cluttered, listing instead "This is about the three-wheeled vehicle. For other uses, see Tricycle (disambiguation)." What do people think?

I think there should be mention made of the Tortera طرطيرة a rickety motorized tricycle used at least in Syria.

[edit] Tricar

Should the likes of Moggie be included, since they were (technically) tricycles? Also the mod French delivery vans? Trekphiler 09:22, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
