Bl00dy frustrating the weather this week, I bet its going to be a long wait till Sunday. Enjoy the bike, it looks great. Never ridden this type, how do you get used to balancing it ?

Balancing is as easy as a regular tandem - the only difficulty is the front wheel is not under the handlebars, so takes a while to get used to. I can ride this bike without a passenger, unlike a 'normal' tandem which tends to skid about with no-one on the back.

Another stupid question - when you are on your own, which seat do you use, I'm guessing it's the back one ?

 

[Alex H]

Yes

Have a look here - http://hasebikes.com/95-1-Tandem-PINO-ALLROUND.html

(Have a read of the story at the bottom of the page)

HUGE respect to Team Garwood. What a guy he is.

Ive had a few Hase tandems come past the house over the years. They are popular in Holland an the Dutch like cycling holidays in Denmark. I would love to have one.

Me too, just managed to find a used one and picked it up 10 days ago.
I notice you have bottles on the Captains handle bars, how are they carried / fitted?

That's from the TandemClub advert?

We use these to fix the bottles to the uprights of the stoker's seat back (putting them on the handlebars is probably not a good idea )

Yes it is :-) well spotted.

Thank you, and I did puzzle about where they were mounted, I could see them hitting the seat back if they were on the handlebars

Thanks again
