My kids school and nursery is 4 miles away. It is at one end of a cycle path and we're at the other end. Tried the each one of them has their own bike option today, but there are way to many ****ers on that cycle path for that to be a safe long term option. Couple of tossers almost knocked my kids off by doing dodgy overtakes.

Three kids, one adult - what's the options for me doing the steering and them doing the stoking? 😀

Only two children, but elder son rides his Islabike and the younger one is on a LOCT on the Orange (Alpine, not Five) with me.

Is that STW or what?

There's a nice four seater tandem (quadem?) in the transport museum in Glasgow - get a frame builder to copy it?

I used to regularly see a tandem with a tandem tag-along attached going along Slateford Road. Cornering must be interesting...

That tandem tagalong looks fantastic. Must be pretty scary with all that weight/flex going through the seatpost though. Cornering? 12 point turns more like!

Edric - I saw that. It's top of the list, but the ebay one whilst relatively cheap to buy would cost me a fortune to go and collect.
