to ride this with me.

Heck, one of you can even steer if you'd like!

I like the basket for the cooler as well.

I would normally be one of the first to jump in to help out but those saddles are only good for around the block. Anything longer would constitute cruel and unusual punishment.

I'm in, they have a few of those out in this area, often bring them out at Maker fairs. There will likely be one or a similar model at the pedalfest this weekend in oakland. Getting riders usually isn't a problem. Deciding who is the dedicated driver can take a while.

I used one of those with my wife, son, sister and her kids one day last summer. My son sat in the basket and we all pedaled and had a great time.

It is weird going backwards though.

I'm in Vegas and want a backwards facing seat. Let's go off road with it. I'll buy the beer.

I rode on one in Boston. The operator was pleased to have a passenger who was an in-shape bicyclist. There were just the two of us. We went as fast as he dared. Fun.
