Ok, here is what I was thinking. You take a classic toy that most of us know as a child the horse with the springs that we all played on at one time or another. Then we strap that to a truck or trailer. Then we ride through the desert or dunes and try to hold on for as long as possible.

Exploring a new city is tough if you're all by your lonesome. But if you have your iPhone on you, you're not alone at all... there's tons of great apps available for discovering the city around you.
