I make that a Tesco bike with the stem on the wrong way round.Faster than a tent.......0

nothing odd about it, just the stem reversed on a cheap bike as Rolf said. It will be someone with short arms or who likes to sit more upright, in all likelyhood a girl.Bianchi Infinito CV

Was it Mossychops that said he had tiny arms like a T Rex?
I saw an odd bike last night. A tandem recumbent. Or should that be a recumbent tandem? Locked up outside a secondary school we were looking at for my daughter.0 -

Hmmm. . . my instinct says it would make the steering a bit twitchy. OTOH perhaps they ride the thing facing backwards, so the handlebar's more like a tiller.
Odd either way."Consider the grebe..."0 -
I thought that was how halfords always assembled bikes. :shock:0

I think I have seen the same bike in New Malden, the chap has customised his recumbent to carry his enitre family. He has a tandem recumbent with a child seat attached to the back and modifies it as they get older to carry him and his three children.
He turns it around at the end of our road, its quite impressive.Fat lads take longer to stop.0 -

Same guy, I think he sometimes attaches a trailor bike to it. I'm sure he's had all three kids and himself on it before.Fat lads take longer to stop.0 -

No not like that. It's like an rsj with 2 recumbent set ups on it and a wheel at each end. It's easily twice the length of that.0
