The Buddy Bike - The Alternative Inline Tandem Bicycle
Duration: 4:05Source: YouTube
Demonstration video for the Buddy Bike. The Buddy Bike is a revolutionary inline tandem bicycle that places the stoker in the front seat. The lower front seat allows both riders to safely enjoy the view while the captain steers from the back. With the Buddy Bike, the captain no longer has to twist around to check on a child rider, risking an accident. Buddy Bike utilizes an exclusive and innovative design with an extra set of handles on the handlebars for the stoker and pedals that work on the same drive chain so the riders work together. With a weight capacity of 380 pounds, the Buddy Bike is the ultimate family bike, one that can be enjoyed by riders of all ages. In the early 1990s Bob Gardner from California created what would eventually become the Buddy Bike. Bob, a bicycle enthusiast, was inspired to customize a bike to ride with his young son Isaac. Bob had the innovation of adding a seat and foot pegs in front of his seat. Isaac enjoyed riding in front but wanted his own pedals so Bob welded two bicycle frames together. He called the unique tandem bicycle the Love Bike and began production in 1996. In 2003, Barry Nelson, the father of a child with autism, began searching for a bicycle to use with his son Jesse. Barry tried many options without success until he purchased a used Love Bike. Barry enjoyed the time that he spent with Jesse on the Love Bike and wanted other families to have the same experience. In 2005, Barry purchased the patent and remaining inventory of the Love Bike with a Trust benefiting Jesse and he changed the name of the bicycle to the Buddy Bike. Over 250 Buddy Bikes have been sold in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Finland and the United Kingdom. The Buddy Bike is ideal for: families with small children, husbands and wives, teaching beginners, special needs families, schools, camps, parks and recreation departments, adaptive sports programs, physical therapy, organizations and bike shops that offer bicycle rentals and cycling tours. www.buddybike.com
