I found a tricycle hanging on a lamp post, so I took it home and am repairing it with the intent of using it to haul things I find on the streets, along with laundry, groceries and tools.
The tricycle is just visible a few feet up in the air.

The rear hubs are nylon tubes. One spins freely on the axle, the other is threaded and therefore always spins with the axle.
