I acquired a Torpado Junior road racer, "Falco" model, from Charlie Young, and it is pretty cool. Although it turned out to be too small for my friend's son (my godson), the neighborhood kids have raced up and down the sidewalks on it, and one girl in particular was truly a natural ... like Flo-Jo on two wheels! I hope that somehow the good experience of her rides on that little bike will stick with her, and inspire a cycling future. She has seen that she is clearly good at something, nonetheless, so I think the good may already have been done! PICs of the Torpado Falco Jr. are happily supplied, upon request...
Ciao, Mark Agree Southfield MI
