NO?
I wish I could have gotten a picture of us on it, because I'm pretty sure we looked AMAZING on it.
Vivian and I.
I bought a tandem bike trailer. It attaches to my seat post. Two people riding a bike with three wheels. Shit. I guess that makes it a TRIke, huh? inequity?
The awesome part wasn't how we looked. The awesome part was how we cooperated, learned, and trusted each other. That was the best part EVER!
When we first started out, we were so wobbly. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to handle the bike (trike) with both of us on it. I didn't feel very confident, and we only pushed along at 6 or so miles per hour. I'm not sure Viv wanted to go too fast either, because I think I did all the work. For the first half of our ride.
After we took a break and turned around, something clicked for us. We started off so smoothly, I almost forgot that we were connected. Before I knew it, we were speeding along at 13+ MPH. No wobbles. No shakes. No hesitation. She even 'made' me cruise so she could push us along.
We only did 6 miles yesterday on the B&A trail. From one end to the other, it's 15.5 miles. I love riding my bike, and so does Viv. I'm pretty sure I know what we are going to be doing much more of. As I'm writing this, she's asking if we can go back today. I wouldn't be surprised if we biked from one end to the other and back this summer.

Does it have pegs for her to rest her feet if she gets tired? We've done 15-20 mile rides with ours, and when Liam gets tired, he puts his feet on the pegs and rests.
We love ours.
Now, if we could just get Amelia on it. She's terrified, so I still have to pull her in a trailer, which sucks for me.
No. Her pedals don't move unless she moves them. AND she can pedal BACKWARDS!!!!!!
Besides, there's no resting in cycling.
