The Bicycle Family

Can a mini-van even fit 8 family members inside? This family stopped by the shop and showed us how it's done. What we've got here is 2 adult tandems connected together with metal tubes (essentially a quadricycle), which is pulling a children's tandem trail-a-bike, which is itself pulling a 2 seat Chariot kid's trailer.
Now for the details: The left side tandem has a Bionx electric assist generator hub and on the top of the kids trailer is a set of solar panels which is powering a small fan inside the trailer, helping keep the little passengers inside a bit cooler.

I wonder if Mom and Dad up front would notice if someone stopped pedaling. I guess that's when the electric motor comes in handy.


Off they go!


Watch out Mr. Hipster!


All aboard!
