The low racer has many variations but there are some key features:

- Low seating position - user is seated at around the wheel axle hight, - Recumbent seating position - user's legs are forward and back is facing down, - Center steering - the steering axle is behind the front wheel and below the rider, - Negative tail - basically the wheel/steering axle relationship is opposite to that in a "standard" bicycle. - Simplicity - linear frame joins the two wheels, drive train is very short, steering is performed by body motion

You can see many around Weston

U.S. Route 27

Right on Weston backyard, and I didn't know all this:

In Florida, US 27 has been designated the Claude Pepper Memorial Highway by the Florida State Legislature. It was named after long-time Floridian congressman Claude Pepper. In Broward County, everything west of US 27 is protected wetlands. It is colloquially termed "Bloody 27" due to the high rate of crashes on it.
