From the Scientific American The
bicycle lias now reached a typical con
struction Iiom which thero teems to
be slight tendency to deviate Abso
lute novelties beyond the details aro
more and more rare Tho companion
side Seated bicycle which we represent
la however ono of tho novelties ot tha
car Xle tandem blcjclo which has
tnet with Considerable success where
the desire is to have company on a
ride Is moiQ or less criticised on ac
count of the position of the riders one
of whom must bo behind tho other In
the bicVciothatwo lllustrato It la pro
posed to hive the two riders s eated side
by sldo as in the oldfashioned so
ciable tricycle and yet to have the
two riders carried by two wheels only
The long axlo of tho rear wheel en
ables the use of two sprockets at Its
extremities so far apart as to permit
of each ones being acted upon through
a separate pair of spiockets each ac
tuated by a separate rider There Is a
triple head and a duplex frame the
latter carrying two saddles placed side
by side at a proper distance apart for
two riders to occupy also sldo by bide
It is said that a difference ot 100
pound3 weight In two riders is not no
ticeable and that a person who Is Ig
norant of riding may bo taken out on
this wheel with perfect safety
The system of mounting is peculiar
Forthe first ono who mounts the wheel
Is Inclined to one side and this rider
takes his or her place on the lower
Eaddle Tho machine Is then pulled
back to an upright position and the
second rider mounts by the pedal and
so the start Is made Tho dismount is
made In tho same way reversing of
course the operations The two sad
dle posts are connected it will be ob
served by a crossbar At the center
of the crossbar Is a special socket
When a single persort Is riding tho
< vheel the saddle Is transferred to the
W
central position and tho rider sitting
thero drives the machine by ono of the
right hand and ono of the left band
sets of pedals This of course pro
duces considerable lost motion on the
pedal action but it at least is possible
for a single rider to take caro of and to
drive the wheel to and from the place
lot appointment with his friend It is
not a wheel depending absolutely on
the presenco ot two ridrs
Of course the materials In the pre
scriptlon are not near worth tho price
but ws charge for knowing how Oh
well thero is no doubt that you hnow
how to charge Indianapolis Jour
