Well here I go, I'm popping my post cherry with this one. I seem to remember this toy that I had but I can't grasp the name for the life of me. It looked like a big bike seat on wheels. It sat like two inches off of the ground and had this crooked bar in the front that you simultaneously held on the ends and put your feet in the center. Then you wiggled back and forth like a bat out of hell and the thing moved forward. I don't think that they make these anymore but I remember seeing them some years ago at an amusement park. All these kids were scooting around in circles ramming into each other. It looked like stone age bumper cars. Anybody know what I'm talking about?

No, it wasn't a big wheel, you had to wiggle to move instead of pedaling.

I know what you're talking about, unfortunately I don't know what it was called either. I scoured all of retrojunk's commercials and only came away knowing that Brooke Shields and Mr. T both had dolls in their likeness and this:

yeah, it wasn't a big wheel (I just bought one of those for my 4 year old). This has been eating at me for a while. For what it's worth, I think that it had three wheels and the seat was red, but don't quote me on that one. When you sat on it you ended up hunched over with you knees almost up to your chin. I'll keep looking, maybe I'll stumble upon something.

Oh shit Syd!! That was it!! I've been looking for the name of that for years. Figured I could count on this place to help me out on that one. Thanks! On a side note...Did anyone else have one of these? I remember getting into trouble all the time because mine seemed to have this unearthly attraction to the middle of the street.
