I’m not sure when this strip first came out, but assuming it was 1960, $25 would be the equivalent of just over $200 today. Must be some tricycle. No wonder CB has guilt feelings.
I remember being given a metal trike about that age. My goodness it was heavy! I was so proud of it because it was new, not a hand-me-down which as the youngest of 7 was my usual lot. I remember riding it down the sidewalks, swerving the tall front wheel back and forth.
Re: obligation to use something. Our first apartment had very tall kitchen cabinets, so my husband bought me a folding metal stepstool. One time we had a friend over and I was making dinner for us all. I needed something off of a top shelf so I called our friend, who was 6’3" tall, over to get it for me. My husband said, jokingly, “I paid good money for that damn stool; you’d better damn well use it!” That was 30 years ago: I still have the stool and we still refer to it as “that damn stool.”

So…I’m guessing peddling to the goal line is pretty much out of the question?
