The greater comfort and more upright position of the littlest compared with a tagalong. The greater control given to the pilot compared with the side-to-side flopping of a tagalong. With a Helios, the flexibility of the stoker's seating allowing adult-child and adult-adult use. </p> <p>Used relentlessly over an extended period, in both their positive and negative forms, these and any rationales you invent yourself can eventually persuade a reluctant spouse to yield to the obvious logic. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10432#post-114033 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 16:50:40 +0000 fimm 114033@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I believe there's also a tandem club website with its own forum - it might be worth asking there as well? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10432#post-114030 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 16:37:29 +0000 DaveC 114030@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Great news, as Insto lives close to me....</p> <p>Just need the perfect tandem now......</p> <p>Hmm found a few in Englandshire... just need to convince the wif we need one... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10432#post-114028 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 16:13:12 +0000 Instography 114028@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Be a shame to see something potentially useful (and having looked, bloody expensive) scrapped.</p> <p>I don't need one but I have enough storage space to store them in case a need emerges say from one of Laidback's customers or just generally for occasional borrowings. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10432#post-114026 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 15:58:11 +0000 recombodna 114026@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>In my capacity as Removals / House clearance guy <a href="http://www.yell.com/b/Murray+Moves-House+Clearance-Edinburgh-EH111LG-7563128/?view=map" rel="nofollow">http://www.yell.com/b/Murray+Moves-House+Clearance-Edinburgh-EH111LG-7563128/?view=map</a> plug plug. I have come across a couple of old roof racks that were built to take a tandem. They bolt on to a standard car roof rack and can be adjusted to the length of the bike. The y need a good wire brushing and maybe a wee lick of paint and some fresh bolts wouldn't hurt them. Give me a shout before they get weighed in at Daltons. </p>
