Advanced-design side-by-side tandems for rent in Marseille
Shot this pic of the cutting-edge side-by-side tandems for rent at the
Parc Borely in Marseille, France. I wonder what kind of tubing they're made from? http://www.directcon.net/retroguybilly/tandem.jpg |

And yes, bicycles (with only two tandem wheels) of this variety have been made in the past. ~ |

Ah yes, but this one is different. Just look at the advanced Rectangular Hollow Section chassis fabricated at the bleeding edge of materials science by Marcel's Trailer and Hitch City. Further note the subtle geometry of the central tiller steering and the dreadnought ram prow(tm). Ain't no Marseillais taxi driver gonna cut that baby off if he risks getting a hunka rusty metal jammed in his door. PH |

I wish we could do this in America -- not just in a closed community/resort area -- but on all streets and stay alive. Of course, if you add a really good quality shock- absorbing front and rear bumper, you're survival chances would be much better. |

I visited Bob Barrett's shop in Berkeley several times during the '70s when he was making a very high-quality sociable. His side-by-sides were ridden in many Bay Area centuries. Bob is an exquisite machinist. He is still making his sociables, I believe, and I think they are available through Bicycle Station in Brooklyn, N.Y. I remember that Bob would work on his sociable bikes when he wasn't doing some beautiful modifications to his Jaguar XK-120. |
