Still a bit short on time at the moment, so here is another photo from Newcastle taken last week.
This kart was outside a café in the centre of town and it was advertising the Super Duper Kart Bike Show event in Newcastle last Sunday. I wish I had been able to go to see it, but we were busy. Maybe next year.
Impressive bit of kit Babs looks like it would be great fun to ride as a little one, btw back in our day they were four pram wheels fixed to a wooden frame with only your feet as brakes, lol:)
Funny but im wondering how it works ? Its not a bicycle and i don't think there space for a motor ... or it is just to be pulled may be ... ( i see a hook in the front )... Your photo made me think ;)
@pcoulson Yes we used to make them with four pram wheels and a plank of wood too when we were kids. Not as elaborate as this one though. Still got the scars.
@maggiemae The additions were already there. As Peter said we used to make them with 4 pram wheels and wood when we were kids, not as elaborate as this one though. How we survived I have no idea.
@cocobella@merrelyn Definitely. We used to make them with 4 pram wheels and planks of wood and bits of string when we were kids. Nothing as elaborate as this one though. Not into health and safety in those days. We used to ride down steep roads and as Peter said only our feet to slow us down again. It is a wonder we survived to tell the tale.
@onewing Most of us used to go round the local garages and beg any old ball-races and then used them as wheels. Pram wheels were in a Rolls Royce category.
@koalagardens Ha ha, indeed.
