    First question, why?

    Next, what's the rear rider called, a rekots?

    Saves the extra weight of having a rear view mirror helmet...

    Is that for tandem riders who are shy of having one's butt in
    another's face? Or riders who like to eat beans and hence are a
    little flatulent?

    There was one in Australian Cyclist a few years back with the backward
    facing rider in front of the front facing rider. It was claimed this
    would be much more aerodynamic without the use of a fairing.

    That model's incomplete. The rear rider is missing essential equipment;
    a nice set of guns to see off those pesky bandits!

    Just what I was thinking. Needs a quad set of Browning .303s
    for the tailgating cagers.

    It's for flipping the bird in both directions.

    I've seen a similar setup but the riders work 'against' each other in a sort of "bicycle tug-o-war".

    Oooh, fun.

    Where they in a pool, and there was lots of oil or mud around? And
    did it end in them ripping each other's clothes off?

    Enquiring minds want to know.

    My pet ant is saying the wattage is actually really low since there won't
    be much movement. Stonkingly huge torque though, which is what you
    basically meant.

    Strictly speaking, it's only torque where the chain is on the cogs (and even
    then, I'd argue that the torque is on the cogs.) Off the cogs, it's just
    massive tension.

    Don't you hate that, you confirm the send, and then a couple of
    seconds later realised you mixed up torque and power *again*? And in
    my past experience, I never get to cancel the queue before fetchnews
    gets around to sending it off.
