Abstract

An action toy comprising a frame and a toy figure mounted thereon. The frame is provided with a fork. A crank is rotatably mounted on the fork. A wheel is disposed within the fork and mounted on the crank for rotation therewith. At least one shoe-shaped pedal is rotatably mounted on the crank. An elastomeric member is coupled to the pedal and to the toy figure. When the wheel is caused to rotate, the elastomeric member flexes and stretches and the pedal performs a pitching movement to simulate a pedalling action.
