#110 COMMENTS * ( revised 6/2) the trike patrol



A garden center owner in Louisiana ( and others in the country) has a fleet of multi colored durable small tricycles ready for the kids to use while mom shops for plants. They are a hit. Anytime mom thinks about a garden store, the kids think about those trikes! Guess where the kids wanted to go for plants?


When we saw them whizzing around shoppers on a busy day, we were horrified. It was a lawsuit ready to happen. We could see one of them clipping an old man right in the Achilles tendon and down he would go. Guaranteed. I bet their insurance guy nearly has a stoke thinking about the liability!


The more we talked to his employees, the more we looked, we saw that the kids were careful moving around the customers. It was hard to believe but, over the years, there have no major incidents with the kids and the trikes.

So, at our first store here in Oklahoma, we are going to give the trikes a try.
