I don't see what's so tri about that cycle tbh
- Third wheel is in the back.
  
  And two little ones in the front, pentacycle
  
  Aren't we always
  
  Would that not then be 5?
  
  A tricycle only has 3 wheels. I'm seeing 2 in front, 2 in rear, and if there's a wheel in back, that makes 5. Your math ain't mathing.
- You can see the third wheel here
  
  (Disclaimer: This may literally be the same pic, it does not load for me)
  
  Yeah. The Third. And the Fourth. And the Fifth.
Looks badass. I love how she seems to have decorated the wheel spokes with foliage.
I saw the Broadway show called stuffs about a month ago. Supposedly, "suffragette" was a term used by the media to downplay the plight of women voters. The proper term is suffragist. #themoreyouknow
