i have a triple tandem bike ask me anything about riding it.

[CanucksTraveller]

Is it hard to ride, does it need the steerer to be an experienced tandem rider already, and the stokers experienced on a tandem?

Who are your fellow riders, family members or experienced tandem enthusiasts?

(For now I'm picturing a rather conservative man in a business suit, and a tall one with slightly wilder hair who looks like a geography teacher complete with corduroy jacket.. I'm also imagining you as the short hairy little man if that's okay, it helps paint the scene) .

In all seriousness, what a machine!

I'm guessing turning left at T junctions takes a little more planning. In fact possibly everything to do with stopping and starting takes a little more planning and coordination.
What is the unladen weight?
Are you planning on touring with it or (for want of a better term) recreational cycling.

lol i changed the title you got me there. light is a wave actually

Didn't Einstein say it was both a wave and particle?

 

[dave soi]

it isnt that hard to ride if you didnt have tandem experience then i suggest the person who will captain the bike to go around on it on their own and then add 1 rider go around for a while and add a 2 rider. having tandem experience helps a lot. as for t junctions they need little planning just anticipation. and team members are family and only using the bike for recretional cycling

Rim brakes front and back? Hmmmm.

 

[dave soi]

[roubaixtuesday]

How many buttocks do you have, and what is the distance between them?

 

[Ming the Merciless]

Does it get longer as you approach the speed of light?

 

[dave soi]

@roubaixtuesday am not sure what you are asking

 

[roubaixtuesday]

@roubaixtuesday am not sure what you are asking

Don't worry, just being silly.

Love the bike, we've got a tandem.

Enjoy!

I think he's just having fun. Possibly imagining the comic image of trying to utilise all 3 saddles at the same time, single handedly. These amazing feats of engineering will always tend to bring out the whimsy in people I think, it's no bad thing and it's testament to how unusual they are.

How did you get it back to your house ? i assume it's too big for a bike rack on the car.

 

[Ridgeway]

If the rear rider is called a stoker on a tandem, what is the middle rider called on a Triplet ?

 

[classic33]

You could get aero on it

 

[Yellow Saddle]

What is the longest cable on there?
