So who would ride a bike like this?

[Hover Fly]

Years ago my aunt had a parrot, a scarlet macaw. When we visited her for Sunday tea, the post-nourishment entertainment consisted of Aunt Hilda putting a loop of string on the table and arranging two chairs a certain distance apart, upon hearing the words "Show us your trick Hector" the parrot would depart its perch and alight on the table, pick one end of the loop of string up and place it over one chair knob, then repeat with the other end of the loop and the other chair, then when it was happy with the arrangement it would walk along the string, when half way across it would loudly announce "DAMN DIFFICULT BUT BLOODY LUDICROUS!".
Cunobelin's video reminded me of that parrot for some reason.

I have also seen a couple of those bikes on the L2B this year...

Is it very difficult to ride up hills on a bike with two frames?

Gotta be, it's hard enough on a bike with one

And now it's successfully leading FNRttC outings.

Chain's a bit....

Oops!

I think the top bit might be a bit bent.

My favourite tall bike, for sentimental reasons, because my dear late friend Tom built it. Yes, it's the head of a bedstead.

What kind of bloke rides a bike with two frames?

Someone who thinks cycling should be a bit of fun?

 

[Rob3rt]

Would be useful for jousting!

Could br interesting going under bridges along a canal tow path.

He needs to be very careful riding anything with that truncheon sticking out of his back pocket.

 

[Theseus]

Is it Roger (Hilldodger)?

Is it Roger (Hilldodger)?

It is. Right now he'll be somewhere between Land's End and Leicester.

Oi! You never said there was a prize, I assumed it was a rhetorical question!

Quite! I've met him so I knew it was him - I thought we were having a bit of fun. I demand a prize too!
