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 |

The "D" logo on the tank is "Dyno" a sub of GT/Schwin.
The trike is probably part of the Dyno cruiser line which existed from 1997 to 2001 and was killed off due to the most recent bankruptcy/restructuring. I expect you'll have to search one out on ebay. mike -- Michael D.

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 |

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.

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". |

And yet, somehow, the world continues without those 25,000 species, the millions of other species learn to adjust. Consider that we don't know what would have happened to those 25,000 or any of the other millions had we NOT been here...probably not much different.

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. The thought isn't that nature might destroy us if we don't; the thought is: -- The stuff we do is puny compared to what nature does -- The stuff nature does doesn't destroy us; we survive and adapt -- Therefore, the stuff we do won't destroy us; we will survive and adapt, just as the millions of other species do every day, with or without our influence. 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. Outcome of nuclear war: Humans die off. Lots of other species die off. The rest of the species adapt and thrive. The world is better off. Possible outcome 1 of genetic engineering: We feed the poor and hungry worldwide. We fix many human defects and improve our bodies. The human population multiplies. The whole earth dies, or nuclear war happens first. Possible outcome 2 of genetic engineering: An occasional strain fails and dies. Very rarely, a bad strain is produced that can actually survive, and is eliminated. Sooner or later, possible outcome 1 of genetic engineering happens. 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. No, it won't; that's my point. Then people will die off, and it won't be a problem. My wholehearted belief is that we could engage in a lifestyle that would sustain that many people without 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". It's not in human nature. Humans require war, and can't avoid disease. The only way to avoid war is to take control of every human's mind and make them all completely bland non-individuals. Otherwise, they will find something to fight about. Usually, that something is religion, or influenced by religion. You'll never get everybody to agree on a religion, nor will you ever eradicate religions that cause war, nor will you ever eradicate extremists who pervert normal religions into something to fight about. Disclaimer: I do not subscribe to an organized religion. I have my own personal spirituality that advocates being nice to people and trying to do the right thing. I am not a christian, jew, muslim, branch-dividian, extremist, terrorist, wombat, cement floor, or a particle of dust. -- Rick Onanian |
