Default Separated at Birth?

Is it just me or did this latest fad for "Big Wheels" actually start when the designers were toddlers? The whole thing sort of gives me the creeps.

OK so here's the deal---do you LIKE this look (give me a YES) or does it not make your hit parade (a NO).

Any editorial comments or additional insights would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe it's just ME and I am not aging well.

"Hey you kids--get off of my lawn!!!" That sort of thing.

I don't know if it was supposed to but it made me laugh. Looks pretty silly to me.

Can't stand the big wheel thing, 21 is as big as I would go & that is if someone paid me to.
