The Goodies 'evolving' Tandem...

[Mr Phoebus]

I remember the first two, but not the later blue one.

The Goodies tandems (trandems).

Bill not having to do his share on the first one.
I remember the others later commenting that it was "hard work" with
Bill not doing his share.

It's called a triplet and I know who owns the later one

 

[Mr Phoebus]

I'll bet it's not Clarkson, Hammond and May?

The Rory Spowers' book is a good read and also has some history of the bike.

Three Men on a Bike -
In 1989, prompted by a cocktail of cheap red wine and headstrong naivety, Rory Spowers and three friends set off on one of the most bizarre bicycle rides of the century. One year and two 278 punctures later, they had traversed the length of Africa on the Goodies's 1930s tandem and a mountain bike, retaining their sanity (barely), but minus one testicle and their preconceptions. Experiences ranged from starring as extras in a Clint Eastwood movie, being attacked by machete-wielding men and poisonous snakes, surviving regular bouts of malaria and travelling through some of the most beautiful lands in the world.
