Bicycles For Two

Back

       In the 1880s, bicycles made for two started to come out.  These where called tricycles and quadricycles.  They were very easy to ride because you did not need to balance.  You just had to sit on the bicycle and pedal.  Because of the stability the tricycle could also be used to hold 2 people.  These tricycles were called tandem tricycles and were great for both men and women.  Couples were soon enjoying relaxing rides.  Cycling had become a social activity and not just a sport.
