Yoenis Cespedes has a custom Cuba tricycle to remind him how far he's come
New York Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes' fleet is not limited to exotic vehicles or horses.
We learned on Tuesday thanks to Mets beat writer Anthony DiComo that Cespedes also invested in what's traditionally a children's toy: a tricycle. Take a look:
Cespedes is not done. This is the newest addition to his collection, modeled after the bike he rode in Cuba. #Mets pic.twitter.com/FRmYZFIJ8W

El duro means "tough or "hard" in Spanish. According to DiComo, the tricycle, which has a Cuban flag affixed to its back, is a souped-up version of the one Cespedes used to ride in his homeland.
Cespedes had planned to ride the tricycle to the Mets spring training facility but opted to refrain, apparently out of respect to manager Terry Collins who said that fun time was over.
This will probably be the last update on Cespedes' vehicles barring his purchase of a tricked-out prop plane or helicopter.
