At my son’s pre-school there are a group of vintage tricycles that the older kids use during their recess.  One of them has something like a wagon attached on the back, with signs on the side; :No 5 Fire Chief Fire Engine.  I wonder if there is any competition among the kids as to who gets to use the Fire Chief tricycle?  Do they use this one as a reward, or do they let the kids decide for themselves?  Or maybe there is a rotation schedule, or time schedule that the kids follow.  Where does one go to get parts for a tricycle that appears to be about 30 years old?  Is the company still in business?

Today was my son’s last day of preschool for the year, and he was too young to use the tricycles this year so I’ll have to wait until next year to find out the answers to these questions.
