Well, all the ones I sell must be going somewhere 😉

Even in Germany, they’re only maybe 1% of bikes. But people who buy them from me use them quite a lot on average, so I guess it’s just statistics again – there’s lots of roads in the UK, the chances of seeing a recumbent is quite rare.

I saw a recumbent tandem in Vancouver, the stoker was conventional the other was the recumbent part, very very odd.

Like this?

That’s a Hase Pino – the pilot is actually at the back, the stoker at the front just pedals. The nice thing is that the person at the back can actually see more than the arse of the person in front – it’s also faster and can carry more luggage.

I saw one of those on the Danube Pigface. Stoker did the steering. The wife on the recumbent part was fairly well built and it seemed a good way for 2 fairly mismatched cyclists to tour.

That’s what I saw Ben.

Yup, person at the back has to be an adult, but the person at the front can be anyone from a 6-yr-old upwards.
