Claim:
1. A tricycle operable between a first mode of operation steerable by a tricycle rider, and a second mode of operation steerable by an individual pushing the tricycle, the tricycle comprising: a fork having at least one blade configured to support a front wheel in a manner permitting the front wheel to rotate about the front wheel axis; a stem configured to be rotatably moveable with the fork; a rider handle, configured to turn the fork about a stem axis, the rider handle in the first mode, being configured to be rotationally coupled with the stem in a manner permitting a tricycle rider to exert forces on the rider handle and thereby turn the fork, and the rider handle in the second mode, where the stem axis leads the front wheel axis, being configured to be rotationally uncoupled from the stem, preventing forces on the rider handle from turning the fork and permitting the individual pushing the tricycle to turn the fork via a pushing force; and wherein the offset distance, between the stem axis and the front wheel axis, is between 15 mm and 40 mm.
