"My Bird-in-Hand Road Cart gives a most comfortable ride and has an elegant look with its spindle seat with spares box and tufted upholstery. This cart feels very stable while doing cones, which is important to me. In my experience, wood is much easier to maintain than paint." (Driver is Bonnie Fahrner - Photograph by MikeScottPhotos)
