A milk float is a battery electric vehicle (BEV), specifically designed for the delivery of fresh milk. They were once common in many European countries, particularly the United Kingdom, and were operated by local dairies. However, in recent years, as the number of supermarkets, small independent grocers and petrol stations stocking fresh milk has increased, most people have switched from regular home delivery to obtaining fresh milk from these other sources.
Because of the relatively small power output from its electric motor, a milk float travels fairly slowly, usually around 10 to 16 miles per hour (16 to 26 km/h) although some have been modified to do up to 80 mph (130 km/h). Operators often exit their vehicle before they have completely stopped to speed up deliveries; milk floats generally have sliding doors that can be left open when moving, or may have no doors at all. They are very quiet, suiting operations in residential areas during the early hours of the morning or during the night.

The primary difference between running and walking is not speed, it is the existence of a "float phase" in running - a period of time when both feet are in the air. In walking at least one foot is always on the ground, no matter how quickly one is walking. Taken at the NYC Marathon.
This frozen parade float features a giant rotating snowflake that turns as the wheels move! It’s accompanied by waving yeti, a polar bear, a snowman, and an ice queen. And what better way to pull an ice-themed float than an ice cream truck!
I built this for @lolugclub’s parade float challenge, and I was inspired by the 70804 Ice Cream Machine and the collectible minifigures.
These are 4 to 5 inches long and close to that in diameter. They are attached to fishing nets to keep them afloat.
Color photograph of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 8053 float in the 1991 Fourth of July Parade in Hingham. Float celebrates the soldiers who served in the Gulf War/Operation Desert Storm. A papier-mâché soldier in desert camouflage rides a camel. He holds an American flag in his right hand and the camel's reins in the left. The camel has a sign on its side reading "Riding the Storm."

Tiny bears Mardi Gras parade! King Rex and Queen Snowy are very regal atop their float. Tiny bears have come in from all over the place, trying to get a look at the king and queen, and hoping to catch some special beads!!
I think that many of these bears will be going to Mardi Gras balls this year!
Happy Carnival Season, Ya'll!
