Lots of reasons, engineering and practicality issues.

Interesting concept, but two points -
Why isn't he demonstrating with a child on board - ?
The setup is twice the width of a tagalong attachment, which may well irritate following motorists, especially as the setup will probably be moving more slowly than a solo bike.

Steering geometry is disgustingly a mile out.

 

[Drago]

Reminds me of the old Sidewinder motorcycle sidecar. They were crap too.

Adult gets it wrong, said child hits the kerb

Wouldn't touch it with a bargepole.
I notice you don't ever see how that wooden effort attaches to the frame of the pilot bike.
It's not demo'd with a child on board, although that's a relief, frankly.
It's the most rubbish attempt at a sociable I've seen in a while.

 

[Venod]

Looks about as practical as this.

 

[NorthernDave]

Is that Jeremy Corbyn doing the demo?

 

[TheDoctor]

JC has got more sense!

"Also, if you need to get past parked cars, it's the kid who is going to get doored, so that's a bonus"

I wish I knew what was in the OP, from the responses to this thread it sounds like it's quite funny!

 

[I like Skol]

What happened there then? Was it the OP's own design or something?

 

[Ming the Merciless]

Wallace and gromit funny this was!

If you think of a motorcycle with sidecar, then think pedal cycle with two wheeled sidecar for a child with its own pedals, and steering linked to the adults cycle steering , then you've got it.
You see it's true what they say, a hundred words is worth a picture any day
