Re: [CR]Cute little thing

Otis and Matthew,

I saw something really funny in TV just yeaterday as I was flipping

through the channels. I passed a Mexican TV station that was airing a

variety/talk show sort of thing. Just as I was flipping I saw this guy

who was riding tiny bicycles. And I mean TINY!! Obviously they were

custom made for the purpose of a circus act, as this guy was

demonstrating. I probably missed a few bikes prior to when I came in;

but the first bike I saw him ride had wheels that were about 3" in

diameter. The bike was just slightly longer than the person's foot.

Once he got set and had his feet just right and had hold of the

miniture handlebars; he pedaled furiously for about 5 feet or so. The

last bike in the sequence was smaller yet. The wheels were about the

size of a small skateboard wheel or maybe a little smaller! You

couldn't even see the bike once he had his feet on the pedals and

hands on the bars. Again, he rode it about 3or 4 feet of so. It was

pretty funny. The bike you saw the other day was made for a giant in

comparison. Bikes are made to be ridden apparently; no matter how

small they are!
