Side by Cycle

Sunday, I visited a friend and he showed me his new two-person bike. He ordered it online and it arrived a few days ago. It was pretty cool (see photo). His was the same colors as this one. They come in all yellow, white and red or blue and white.

We rode it around for a while and it was pretty fun. If your facing the front of the bike, the rider on the right has control of the brakes, gears (six of them) and steering. The rider on the left basically just has handle bars to hold on to. The pedals can be adjusted however you want, but he had them set to sync up. So our left legs would go up and the same time, etc.

It costs less than a normal tandem bike, and it's more social. You can hold a conversation while you're riding. We talked about his neighborhood and features on the bike. He said he's going to add a few items, like lights, horns and possible wind chimes.
