The Love Bike - what
tandem cycling is meant to be. There is nothing like it.


|
Compare the Love Bike (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. |
