Hot Wheels are the little cars.
Big Wheel (and the pretender Green Hornet) are what you are thinking about, I think. All plastic. My brother rode at least two of them completely out. They had the brake on the back wheel that you pulled up with your hand. Big holes in the rear wheel from all that skidding.
Oh right. Hot wheels were the Matchbox type cars.
I guess I saw those flames and thought "hot wheels!" :D

I had 3 siblings and a neighborhood full of kids, so there was no shortage of big wheels (and parents yelling that you're going to hurt yourself on that thing!). ;)
I just missed being in the age group for those. And I never had a Schwinn Stingray either. :(
I had a Big Wheel and a Schwinn Pixie. My son rides them now. :)
you crack me up :D :D :DQuote:

so many advantages to being tres petite!
Looks like inseam might be the limiting factor. It says it fits 15 - 22" inseam. I'm 5' and have a 25" inseam.
I had a schwinn pixie.. I miss that bike! It was the most awesome thing ever :DQuote:
