Re: 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

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.

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.

You seem to be completely unaware of the serious problems we as an entire
civilization face as a result of our obsession with personal combustion
engine based transport. 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.

My children will inherit a world that's fundamentally the same, but
with less oil available to them.

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.

Within this last hundred years we have already seen an unprecedented human
caused extinction of more than 25,000 species.

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.

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".

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.

I just read all the strings to my original question and holy crap.
Peace and love "jomamma". 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

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.

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.

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.

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.

No, it won't; that's my point. Then people will die off, and it
won't be a problem.

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.
