She loves is, and we go out a lot.
I've never seen a Piccolo in the flesh but have looked at them. They are a much better product...and much more expensive...then most Alley-Cat knockoffs. If I had it to do again, I still stick with a tandem. Especially if I were wanting to do faster longer rides. I don't know how stable a trailer bike would be on a screaming fast descent but I know how stable tandems are...up to 55 mph with a 6 year old squealing with delight
