She sat on a tricycle In the warm shining sun Her small face lit up with joy watching She saw some strangers all on their bikes Hey she thought almost like my trike Seeing them whizz past at the speed of light She lifted up her arms in the air Without a care Waved to them all With both her hands She was thinking come back soon This time next year perhaps in June. One of the best bits I have seen to yet this month. She was seeing the cyclists of the Tour of France whizz by her on their bikes. I used to call a tricycle a trike at least where I came from we did.

No, not at all. The only thing I have seen of your country is on documentaries on the television.

@Nakitakona The word trike was being used when I was small where I lived I never thought anything else about it and also tricycles were very common when I was small also.

@lovinangelsinstead21 Cause you're talking about tricycle or tryke which is a byword among Filipino who are earning from driving that kind of motorized tricycle.

Its not very often you see tricycle here at all rather two wheels and other smaller wheels on bikes for very small children.

Oh that is a wonderful way of saying it too and I am really sure she would wave back like that little girl so full of joy and delight at seeing them. Small kids are so adorable most times.

@lovinangelsinstead21 I also grew up with a trike being a learning bike for new riders. I have heard other people talk about them here for some other use of transportation that I am not familiar with. I meant at My Lot and not here in Israel.

I think that they use those tricycles as some kind of taxi in different places. Its a great idea as you don´t have to use a horse or any other and tax their strength all the time.

@Hannihar About the horses you mean? I love horses and I think their being on the roads nowadays you know pulling carts or whatever is just not on at least around here. Drivers and horses don´t go together.

@lovinangelsinstead21 Thank you and I have heard here a lot about them and I believe you are right that they are some sort of tax. I like what you wrote in the last part.

She really was happy seeing them all and she must be only three years old at the most.

I have seen them on documentaries over there also. I like them as not everyone likes just two wheels. Nice way of transport, relaxed and easy going.

@cacay1 I like the idea of them too but they like the electric scooters are being frowned upon by the local government so not much chance of them being around or in use as such. Cyclists now are being made to get off their bikes and walk with their bike in the subways try telling that to the kids.

Its because that something like that lit up her face not that she was not already happy. She was waving her hands high so that they could see her too I guess.

@lovinangelsinstead21 Children are always happy with small things, but when we grow up, everything changes.
