So anyone familiar with “sociable” two wheelers:

recumbent sociables:

A couple of upright sociables:

How is control on this side by side arrangement?

Any crank timing issues impacting balance?

Do the single BB versions have crank/BB strength issues or do they use some thick cast cranks?

Asside from the obvious aero drag of this arrangment and greater width occupied, any other issues come to mind?

Sorry about those earlier links. These addresses should work better:
