Tandem trailer bike
2 years ago, I bought a second-hand Pashley "U Plus 2" tandem trailer
bike. Whilst carting around my 2 little girls on it, I could have sold several. The problem is, it does not de-rig easily for transport. Would some intrepid engineer be interested in a joint venture to make and market a de-riggable version? My daughters are a salesman's dream. |

The best way to reduce the volume of the trike is to take the axle and wheels off - that sort of coupling isn't going to help you do that. I sold my U+2 some years ago, but I think couplings in the middle would have been as useful as quick release rear wheels. (The triangulation at the rear means a removeable axle would do nothing.) http://www.flickr.com/photos/armb/se...7602304880563/ |

While you're here, did the large wheelbase not make it rather cumbersome? |
