I don't see what's so tri about that cycle tbh
Third wheel is in the back.
And two little ones in the front, pentacycle
eh, training wheels.
WITCHCRAFT
Aren't we always
Would that not then be 5?
A tricycle only has 3 wheels. I'm seeing 2 in front, 2 in rear, and if there's a wheel in back, that makes 5. Your math ain't mathing.
Every source I've seen refers to it as a tricycle. I don't know what the additional two wheels are for, but they aren't touching the ground in the pic, so I'm inclined to keep the original description.
So if it leans forward... Does it become a quadcycle?
Its for when she's in a hurry, she leans forward and really gets some elbow grease in there
You can see the third wheel here
(Disclaimer: This may literally be the same pic, it does not load for me)
Yeah. The Third. And the Fourth. And the Fifth.
