The Love Bike - what tandem cycling is meant to be. There is nothing like it.
|
|
Compare the Love Bike (above left) to the regular tandem (below left). Try riding both of them, first alone, then with a partner. You will have done our work for us. There is no convincing salesmanship needed to demonstrate the differences. The compact frame of the Love Bike makes it infinitely easier to control, and unlike the regular tandem, its fun to ride solo or partnered. The balance problems that come with the long wheel base of the normal tandem disappear on the Love Bike |
The unique handlebar setup of the Love Bike allows the front rider to feel all of the steering movements, while the leverage inherent in the extended rear handlebars gives the rear rider total control. Front and rear brakes and the shifters are included in that control. The front rider holds onto the smaller set of bars, which also have rear braking capacity. Both sets of handlebars are adjustable. The rear set can be moved up and down, depending on the rider's preference, and the front set can be moved backwards and forwards, depending on the rider's reach.

Children can easily hold onto the handlebars and stay seated and balanced, but for the child who can't quite reach the pedals we have optional fold out foot pegs which attach to the frame. Many kids aged five to eight fit that description. The adjustable seats make it a snap to fit riders of all dimensions.
