Anyone know who manufactures this tricycle
There's some trikes somewhat similar (they're 1930's reproductions) at http://www.allwebtoys.com/toys_bike_01.php Sky King Tricycle A true classic once again available These are exact replicas of the original 1936 Sky King trike, and like the originals, are destined to be family heirlooms in the future. Exactly like the originals - they are made from high quality steel with red powder coated finish, chromed bright work. (some minor assembly required) Features: a.. Adjustable Spring Seat - Rubber Grips b.. Working Light c.. Reflectors d.. Sealed Ball Bearings e.. Safety Approved - 3 to 6 years of age $199.99 * --Tock |

Is there a way I can post a .jpeg?? That link works fine for me. The ad appears to be gone but the pic is still there. I showed that to a friend and now he wants one for his daughter so I'm watching this thread to see if anyone knows more about the trike. That's disgusting. Why not teach your children about the value of the environment rather than glorify the instruments of its destruction? Did I smack you in the mouth and ask for your opinion?? If I did, I've forgotten. If not, keep it to yourself. It is NOT your concern what I teach my children about the environment. -- Robert Hampton Genesis POS http://www.genesispos.com (866) 942-8813 Voice (325) 942-8872 Fax |

You also seem to be completely unaware of the way your use of motor vehicles DIRECTLY affects each and everyone around you including me. You also seem to be completely unaware of the world you are leaving behind for your children. |

As far as emissions are concerned, humans who think that we have a major effect are so full of themselves. Natural occurances, such as the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo (more widely known for it's temporary cooling effect caused by ash and dust in the air), have spewed forth more greenhouse gases than mankind has ever caused. Additionally, Mt. Pinatubo's eruption resulted in "Unprecedented size of 1993 Antarctic ozone hole by lofting ozone destroying species into the stratosphere", according to http://www.atmos.umd.edu/~bruce/m1239702.html as well as rapid climate fluctuations caused by the temporary cooling effect. All of these things, both warming and cooling, are part of the natural system of Earth. This planet will survive and prosper no matter what we do to it, and it will absorb most of what we do without becoming unbearable. The biggest problem we pose is our overpopulation, and that will likely reach critical mass and result in major dying off sooner or later...whether by disease or war/violence. -- Rick Onanian |

You also seem to be completely unaware of the world you are leaving behind for your children. My children will inherit a world that's fundamentally the same, but with less oil available to them. Within this last hundred years we have already seen an unprecedented human caused extinction of more than 25,000 species. As far as emissions are concerned, humans who think that we have a major effect are so full of themselves. Natural occurances, such as the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo (more widely known for it's temporary cooling effect caused by ash and dust in the air), have spewed forth more greenhouse gases than mankind has ever caused. These occurances have been hypothisized to be the source for mass species extinction, however they generally do not occur very often. Also the earth has no history of weathering those events in combination with the mass of toxins humans are releasing into the environment. Besides, where is the intelligence in destroying yourself with the rational that nature might do it anyway. That's like a cigarette smoker saying you could get lung cancer even if you didn't smoke. Additionally, Mt. Pinatubo's eruption resulted in "Unprecedented size of 1993 Antarctic ozone hole by lofting ozone destroying species into the stratosphere", according to http://www.atmos.umd.edu/~bruce/m1239702.html as well as rapid climate fluctuations caused by the temporary cooling effect. All of these things, both warming and cooling, are part of the natural system of Earth. This planet will survive and prosper no matter what we do to it, and it will absorb most of what we do without becoming unbearable. This statement does not consider the potential outcomes of nuclear war, nor the potential for large scale disasters from genetic engineering. The biggest problem we pose is our overpopulation, and that will likely reach critical mass and result in major dying off sooner or later...whether by disease or war/violence. This planet will not support 10 billion people (what we will have in another 20-40 years) for very long with the current rates of consumption and pollution that we are engaged in. My wholehearted belief is that we could engage in a lifestyle that would sustain that many people without the need for mass war and petulance. It would of course require great modifications to a value system that considers making a human powered tricycle for a child look like an obnoxious combustion engine machine as "cool". |

I take it from your childish rants that you do not depend on combustion engines in any way in your lifestyle. Is that correct? Considering the implications of the grave situation of rampant resource depletion and toxic excretion our civilization is engaged in does not fall under the category of childish rants. While I don't live in the woods picking berries and am therefore part and parcel of the problem, my existence does not depend on my personal ownership of a combustion engine vehicle for transportation. I have gone through great lengths and what some would call sacrifices over the years to avoid dependence on a car. If you would like to know some of the other elements of my lifestyle that minimize my footprint on this planet I would be happy to share them. You would be amazed at what small contributions on individual levels add up to on societal and planetary levels. Likewise, small individual levels of consumption and excretion create mass destruction. |

The bike is for a kid to get some exercise rather than sitting in front of the boob tube playing games. I suppose I could take him to the forest to hug a few trees while we are on a bike ride!! I have no intentions of getting him a mini bike..............until he is old enough to syphon gas out of his mothers car without swallowing too much of it and spilling it on the pavement. Thanks to all who helped me out with this Trike. I am confident I will get my hands on one. Much appreciated. Andy |

Likewise, small individual levels of consumption and excretion create mass destruction. Well, until you are in the woods picking berries you've got nothing to say to me. You have absolutely no idea what my lifestyle is, child. And trying to degrade others for not believing EXACTLY what you believe is certainly not going to help you win anyone over to your way of thinking. I am comfortable with my lifestyle and contribution to the environment. If you don't like that, go cry to someone else. I'm done with you. -- Robert Hampton Genesis POS http://www.genesispos.com (866) 942-8813 Voice (325) 942-8872 Fax |
