A local bike shop has had a Dawes Twocan kiddie back tandem for sale for
sometime (as in at least a couple of month).He had it earlier for 500
quid plus, though said I could have it for GBP500) Noticed today that he
has it for gBP 400. Wanting to get rid of it guess before the winter.
Looks tempting, as I'd like to keep DD1 - now 9 months, in the trailer,
DD2 is now 4 1/2, she will soon be out of the trailer all together and
she would like to be cycling herself as well now. If we went the trailer
bike route DD1 would need to go in bike seat.
I don't know a great deal about tandems, obviously this is the bottom
end of the market, but it looks sound enough. Needs, mudguards , rack,
lights etc. doesn't have anything like drag brake which I guess might be
useful when towing a trailer as well, but then again, will mostly be
used for utility trips and tootling around the local area. and
Cambridgeshire (sadly...) is not noted for it's hills, steep or
otherwise.
And much as I could like one, spending lots on a more upmarket one isn't
really an option anyway
anyone got/had one of them? any comments, or any other comments from
people experienced in such things
