For the past few years I have had the benefit of witnessing countless children enjoying the winged tricycle out my office window. Every summer the hordes of tourists descend on Belfast, Maine. Every child that sees this tricycle has to sit on it and ring the bell. Usually this is a 10-15 minute event. I hear the wonderful sounds of laughter and screaming children as they take turns trying to push the pedals and make those wings go up and down, up and down. I can think of nothing better to brighten up a rainy summer than happy children.

But on this particular day I looked out my window only to see a co-worker screaming with delight. In this instance a picture really is worth a thousand words.

Don’t forget to stop in Belfast on your way up the Maine coast and check out all the bike installations throughout town.
