The early version of Uber.

Heels on wheels

Harley and Davidson prototype.

Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble had better stone wheel ‘motor’ bikes.

They get to use the carpool lane.

On a stone cycle built for two.

Just waiting to see what happens if they have to make a sudden stop!

The early minivan

On a trip to Hilton Head, we decided to rent kayaks. The man said, “Do you want singles or the divorce model”. We chose the singles. (Figured out later they made more money on the singles).

There’s nothing silly about tandems in serious riding. Twice the leg power with barely more than single wind resistance. About the same as a single going uphill, but often referred to as “trains” going downhill.

He invented the Fifth wheel! No – wait…

Yabba dabba dooo!

Comic physics, they move without peddling. Wish I could have that when I do a century bike rides. I’d be riding in style. Yip yip yip yip yip

…and they went on to be a double delight…

One half of Fred Flintstone’s car…

Lean in the same direction at the same time, anything else will be disastrous.

Attach a few more wheels and you’ll have a Bus.

Thought provoking, since there are two riders it is a tandem bicycle, but it would just be a plain bicycle with one rider. Tandem bikes are two wheeled so the difference is the second rider. Tricycles are three wheeled, but one wheeled cycles are unicycles, not monocycles, but the important thing is, can you have a two rider (tandem) unicycle, and the answer is, yes. One person rides above the other.

No ! Silly is the recumbent trike my neighbor bought.

“…but you’ll look sweet, upon the seat of a bicycle built for two!”

I like tandem bikes, they are fun!

Must be a Tesla. There’s no pedals or motor.

They look sweet, but there’s no seat, on that bicycle built for two.

Bearings? Did he actually add bearings? The boys are still standing on the axels … hmmm.

Double your pleasures, double your fun, got our tandems on a run…

It’s an electric bike
