        A tricycle only has 3 wheels. I’m seeing 2 in front, 2 in rear, and if there’s a wheel in back, that makes 5. Your math ain’t mathing.

          Every source I’ve seen refers to it as a tricycle. I don’t know what the additional two wheels are for, but they aren’t touching the ground in the pic, so I’m inclined to keep the original description.

            So if it leans forward… Does it become a quadcycle?

    Looks badass. I love how she seems to have decorated the wheel spokes with foliage.

    I saw the Broadway show called stuffs about a month ago. Supposedly, “suffragette” was a term used by the media to downplay the plight of women voters. The proper term is suffragist. #themoreyouknow
