Gonz, the term is fifth wheel.

Not if you're a cyclist.
You of all people should know this. What with your gay bike and all.

Monty, I shouldn't have to explain this to you
but I will.

By adding a third wheel to a bike you get a trike, which is a useful thing, more stable than a bike.

By adding a fifth wheel you are adding something completely unnecessary.

Hence the term always has and always will be "Fifth wheel".

what about the steering wheel?
surely it should be sixth wheel but that would just be silly wouldn't it.....

And all the other cogs and stuff, they're like wheels only pointy.
There are loads of wheels in a car, and besides, the saying was around since before I was born, which means it has been around forever, which means it was around before the invention of cars (but after the invention of the wheel) so when King Harry the 8th said it, he had no concept of what a car is, thus Al is wrong.

Don't be stupid, that would mean I've been saying it wrong all these years, and that would be quite unlike me.
