ABSTRACT:
A tandem tricycle is easily constructed from standard bicycles by removing the front wheel and fork of the rear bicycle, placing an adapter on the frame of the rear bicycle, and mounting the adapter to the rear of the leading bicycle. The adapter allows the rear bicycle to tilt, to articulate, and to bend with respect to the leading bicycle. Each function is independently achieved through suitable assemblies, and the combination allows simultaneous tilting, articulating, and bending. Although described with reference to an adapter suitable for converting standard bicycles to a tandem tricycle, the invention also contemplates the manufacture of an integral tandem bicycle or tricycle having an adapter which allows tilting, articulating, and bending of the trailing section of the tandem relative to the leading section. Multisectioned velocipedes are also contemplated.
