It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Oh wow, it's like they designed it backwards: steering on the rear and propulsion in front haha. I'd love to see one in-person, or if the general idea could be revived.
It looks like Huffy still makes them. Must have bought the naming rights I guess? The newer ones look rather different, tube frame construction now, but it appears the basic idea of RW steering + FW pedal drive still holds. From the photo, looks like the modern ones have a hand brake for the FW, too.
That's also got a rubber tube front wheel instead of plastic.
