There aren't that many recumbent tandems around and certainly none that can compact down to this size.<br /> Richard Cresswell has designed quite a few bikes before...<br /> <em>"Cresswell Cycles were absorbed into Pashleys who I believe still make the Tri-1 and the Robin and Wren two children's disability trikes designed by Richard."<br /> </em></p> <p><strong>Today's visit<br /> </strong><br /> Richard presented a very different take on cycling for two. The oVo tandem breaks down quickly and cleanly allowing it to become luggage.<br /> I did a test ride with him on back and managed fine - even U-turned it on Lauder Road on uphill. After getting a postive crit from The Bike Works I went on back and Richard bumped off kerbs with the full suspension soaking up everything really.</p> <p>It's quite easy to use although it would maybe help to have had experience on a solo recumbent bike. Uses Rohloff and hope discs. Design has no cable breaks and can be put together with a 4 and 5 mm Allen key. </p> <p><img src="http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6098/6385783995_124b5e3d81.jpg"></p> <p><img src="http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6053/6385787985_1d22479505.jpg"></p> <p><img src="http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6217/6385793789_7b85386717.jpg"></p> <p><img src="http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6033/6385796811_809747285b.jpg"> </p>
