Two has always been the magic number for us over here at WineandWheels. A recent article might have us a bit persuaded, though, considering … well, ok, it’s just pretty darn neat: a bicycle built for four. Over at Sci Fi Tech they write:

Biking is all well and good, but unless you only eat baguettes it’s tough to ride one to the grocery store, not to mention toting the kids to soccer practice on one. However, nothing really beats moving at a quick clip with the wind blowing through your hair, pedaling your heart out. Enter the HumanCar Quadcycle.

Now, we don’t have anything against baguettes, and we do ride our tandem #2 to get groceries once and a while, but we have to admit that this quadcycle brings the Flintstone cartoon pitter-pat sound of feet to our ears, and reminds us that much of the sport of bicycling isn’t concerned with time trials, artificial hormones, or the shape of your helmet. The sport of bicycling is, after all, a social activity wherein one connoisseur meets with another and they “expert” with each other for a while about their expertise. Sound like wineries? Hmmm… maybe we’re on to something here.
