The present invention relates to a tricycle (800, 810) operable between a first mode of operation steerable by a tricycle rider, and a second mode of operation steerable by an individual pushing the tricycle, the tricycle comprising: a pair of rear wheels (400); a front wheel (100); a head tube (707); a frame (700); a fork (133); a stem (305) configured to rotatably extend from the head tube (707); a rider handle (200), configured to turn the fork (133) about a stem axis extending transverse to the front wheel axis, the rider handle in the first mode being configured to be rotationally coupled with the stem (305) in a manner permitting a tricycle rider to exert forces on the rider handle (200) and thereby turn the fork (133), and the rider handle (200) in the second mode, where the stem axis leads the front wheel axis, being configured to be rotationally uncoupled from the stem (305), preventing forces on the rider handle (200) from turning the fork (133) and permitting the individual pushing the tricycle to turn the fork (133) via pushing force.
