Glowbike

Some globe-headed kid on his glowbike. This thing looks just like the Ice Prowler, that bike some admirable wacko is trying to ride to the south pole.

The Rat Patrol was out en force that night, wearing their official patrol helmets.

That's Akira Kurachoppa on the left and The Hammer on the right.
