Road biking is dumb as gently caress because motorists are overwhelmingly incompetent shitheads. I have to force myself not to wince when I see some rear end in a top hat in a car overtake a cyclist without leaving 6ft of space.

You mean the driver or the monkey? That's me on the left. Also I have been in multiple sidecar race crashes with no injuries, and I have a visor from an old helmet with a huge scrape on it where I came half off the rig on the top of the back hill at NHMS and scraped my head on the track but didn't fall off. So I feel bad for Fernando who is forced to do such dangerous low class activities as bicycling.

Both choices seem to suggest very poor cognitive skills due to an insufficiently broad gene pool, are you from Britain or the Netherlands?

What happens when the cyclist is too smooth brained to use the perfectly good cycle lane 6 feet to their left and decides instead to get in the way of people who aren't cretinous enough to commute to work on a children's toy.

Ban bikes for anybody over the age of 12 imo.

Nothing happens because a bike has the same right to use the road as a car hth

This is pretty rad! What does the sidecar monkey do when turning the other direction - straddle the bike?

i couldn't think of anything less fun to do than cycle on the roads hoping that some dumbass car driver isn't going to hit me, plus having to dress up in lycra with someone elses sponsor logos like im doing the tour de france on some dreary rear end road. Maybe if I lived in the south of france or something, I'll stick to forest paths and canalways for cycling thanks.

Yeah you just flop over in the opposite direction behind the driver. In the chair position as seen in photo the goal is to move the center of gravity of the rig to the inside of the turn so the rig doesn't roll over. In the opposite turns the goal is just to put weight on the rear wheel for traction coming out of the turn. The difficulty is in transitioning between the two quickly. It's hugely more physical work than riding a solo bike. I'm not as physically fit as some, and in that position in the photo a better monkey would have their entire torso hanging off the edge of the chair.
