Hey- I'm *glad* I've got a neighbor who is a considerate as the Prof.

Thanks. It is partly for the benefit of the neighbors, but mainly for
my wife. I usually take them out about 6am when I get up. she is still
sleeping and the bedroom window is right above the driveway. I've
taken to taking them out the night before since the new driveway.

If I was him I'd cut two rubber bands out of an inner tube and snap
them on the wheels.

First, I'd need to find a 10" inner tube, then a way to keep it in
place. Maybe an 8" tube, so I'd really have to snap it in place.

Go to a tire dealer that sells big truck tires. See if they have some take
off inner tubes (damaged ones) Find one slightly smaller than what you need.
Cut for width. Use contact cement on wheels. Stretch cut tube to go on
wheel. I did this when our children were small and we had oak floors. Really
works. Still have some of those toys and grand kids have used them. These
were home made riding toys with wood wheels. WW
