Square wheels would be MUCH more fun !!! :-) An insensitive term used in some circles for someone with a pronounced limp is 'flat wheel'. That goes back to railroads where locking up the wheels during an emergency stop creates flat spots. No fun. You can sometimes hear them while waiting at a crossing. You can do it with rubber tires too. It's gotten much better with ABS systems but when bobtailing (the tractor part of a 18 wheeler without the trailer) the airbrakes were capable of locking up the drivers. You really tried not to.
