Bike Advice

I was thinking about getting a fixed gear recumbent tandem bike with 29" wheels full suspension and slick tires so I can use it as a commuter and do other cool stuff like dirt jumps and long distance rides and down hill racing.

Any advice?

Why a tandem? Why not six riders? Wouldn't that make the bike more versatile?

if it is a recumbent, just have your friends sit one on top of the other. you sound perfect for the bottom position.

As long as it has a holster for your gun, you should be set.

Yes, It will need a 50 cal gun turret. What is the point of clipless pedals and do I wear underwear under my Lycra shorts when I am riding?
