I really hate that accessory. You have this teeeny tiny little wheel that's going to rub up against your tire to propel it? I'm incredibly surprised this ever worked at all.

Not a new idea, and it could be worse. How about we drive the front wheel instead, and put a bunch extra weight over the front?
