Rustic Ride #1 Flexible Flyer
Our vintage 50 year old Flexible Flyer Tricycle has spent most of its life displayed in the yard. Until the little ones in the family saw in on the patio, hopped on and started riding it back and forth on the patio pavers. It squeaks so loud it hurts your ears; they love it! Better still, 2 kids can ride at once. One gets the seat and pedals, one stands on the red “step” and holds onto the driver. So she’s back on the road again..
