It's also personal, as it was my favorite toy growing up. Welcome to the Big Wheel edition of WTFF? (Where's the Fun from?!)

I've seen ads that say that a Big Wheel has a safer center of gravity and safer turns than a traditional tricycle.

@@SeizethePlay I had plenty of big wheel's growing up but never the green machine by Marx until now since I recently purchased a huffy green machine and at 47 I can actually fit on and ride the thing. The original big wheel of course has since been replaced by the more modern drift trike consisting of a steel frame and fork assembly, 20 inch bike tire in the front and plastic rear wheels with Razor making the DXT drift trike which I recently purchased as well which is great fun to ride and gives you a good workout in the process. I still remember having the Marx champion cycle version that I got for my 7th birthday way back in the fall of 1980.
