April fools joke maybe?

Look at this bike from Surly:

 

[Weon]

They used to have one of those over at Pedalabikeaway in the Forest Of Dean. Looks so scary it's untrue. Could never convince anyone to try it our with me - can't think why!

If it had three wheels I could see trying it out, but I don't know how you would ever be able to balance on that thing with just two wheels.

They are actually fairly easy to ride - provided the No2 doesn't try to shift and balance it aggressively.

They never really caught on for dirt jump or DH though.

I had a go on a bike like that back in the early 90's, i was the passenger. I couldn’t get use to it, I managed to bend the bar / stem trying to control it. not for me

 

[Old Ned]

I wonder if it could be ridden in tandem time trials..?

[karym6]

wasnt this on dragons den at all, or maybe american inventor at one point?

 

[dyna-ti]

I wonder if it would be possible to ride alone on :?
Do you constantly have to lean towards the middle.

Has to be better than a normal tandem,where you spend the journey staring at someones ar*e

It's been around a long time, back to very early days at the beginnings of bicycles.
They were called sociable tandems.
