What ever happened to big wheels...

While sharing old pictures of growing up, Matt and I have often discussed the disappearance of the Big Wheel. If you grew up in our generation without a Big Wheel... well... you were deprived. Even if all you did was ride around on one patio in a big circle... it was still fun! Whether it is myth or truth, we heard that they vanished from stores due to the danger factor. Apparently some parents let their kids ride willy nilly through the streets and obviously these would not be easy to see considering how low to the ground you travel. And thus the extinction of the Big Wheel. Or so we thought... Look what I found on Target.com! WOW!
