Speaking of Yosemite, Big Wheel Race anyone?
 

Every year in San Fransico on Easter for the past 7 or so years there has been an event called the BYOBW (Bring Your Own Big Wheel) Race, and this year is no different! The event is at 4pm on April 12- conveniently the day before the Yosemite adventure begins... Just sayin'...

Here's some links to pictures and videos:

Now, why don't they make Big Wheels that actually fit grownups (and can support their weight)? I would totally dig an XL Big Wheel.

Because then the off-road unicyclists wouldn't have pride in being the silliest of the wheeled transport users.

Edited to add:

I think the event would be less fun if sized for Adults

of course, i can fit in a Disneyland kiddie stroller, so it may be a happy medium ... if i enter the race!

OMG. I so want to race! :D

I've always thought it would be fun to build an adult sized playground.

Swings 30' tall, slides the same, etc....

Gabba Gabba we accept you, we accept you, one of us.





Seriously, I am seriously considering heading up there with SuPeR K! and entering the race .... if we can find two Big Wheels, and IF we can cram them in my tiny car, along with all the other stuff we're taking for Yosemite and Cambria.

What about towing them behind the car? Rent one of those car dollies and strap the front wheel of the Big Wheel into each tire bay on the car dolly. It would make for a great site rolling down the highway.

Sure, the Big Wheels would be destroyed within a mile of your departure, but imagine the looks you will get!

Oh man... I can only imagine! Even if we didn't enter the race, it would still be amazing to watch!
