• My "Big Wheel".  I grew up in a small town and me, my brother and a couple of other boys ran that town on our big wheels.  We went everywhere on them.  We wore the wheels right off of them.
  
  We rode those more than our bikes.

  'Space Hoppers' were those blow up things made of rubber that you sit on and bounce around on - they were orange and a real fad in the 1970's.  Also pogo sticks.  Maybe its a British thing?
