Day 2 at Interbike

We headed back to the Outdoor Demo today, but there was little new to see aside from the recumbent conversion of the KidzTandem bike. The KidzTandem bike has had a recumbent version for a while now, but what makes this unique is that it can be converted from recumbent to upright and back again.

This particular revision of the semi-recumbent is still undergoing some design. The seat, for example, is a stock Sun seat with a single support. It had a noticeable lateral wobble that was acknowledged by the German producer of the bike. I also suggested changes to the seat that would allow for lateral trunk supports for those kids who have upper body control issues. The builder also mentioned the addition of chain tubes for the final version and the optional incorporation of a stoker freewheel.

To reiterate from yesterday's report, the stock tandem is $1950 with the recumbent conversion adding another $1000.

And.... That was it for recumbents for day 2. We should have a ton of stuff to post tomorrow night after spending a day at the indoor portion of Interbike. Until then, enjoy these random photos from the Outdoor Demo and us goofing around at Madame Tussauds.
