BUDDY BIKE FAMILY BB102	STANDARD TANDEM

The Buddy Bike is up to 15" shorter than a standard tandem bicycle. Try riding both of them, first alone, then with a partner. The compact frame of the Buddy Bike makes it easier to control, and unlike the regular tandem, its fun to ride solo or partnered. The Buddy Bike's compact size also makes it easier to store and transport.


PATENTED HANDLEBAR SETUP	LOWER FRONT SEAT puts the smaller rider up front and allows both riders to safely enjoy the view. Pedals work together on same drive chain.

The unique handlebar setup of the Buddy Bike allows the front rider to feel all of the steering movements, while the leverage inherent in the extended rear handlebars gives the rear rider total control. Front and rear brakes and the shifters are included in that control. The front rider holds onto the smaller set of bars, which also have rear braking capacity (on most models). Both sets of handlebars are fully adjustable and should be customized by your bike shop during assembly.

	Children can easily hold onto the handlebars and stay seated and balanced, but for the child who can't quite reach the pedals we have optional fold out foot pegs which attach to the frame. Many kids aged five to eight fit that description. Front riders must have an inseam of 25" to reach the pedals. The adjustable seats make it a snap to fit riders of all dimensions.
FOLD OUT FOOT PEGS provide foot rest for smaller front rider (sold separately)
