My kids had those cheap plastic big wheels, which they rode around at breakneck speed on a deck that surrounded our house and that included some jumps with one or two-step level shifts in the decking. Took a year to wear them out, and then we got new ones. By the time the third set wore out, they were ready for banana bikes, then on to mopeds. Never has stuff like that when I was a kid. Now, those two kids don't have any kids of their own, and are missing a lot of christmas fun. Thanks Harbourmaster, for stimulating a trip down the old lane.
