Enclosed or faired tandem?

Would anyone have a link to an enclosed or faired tandem? I was
talking to someone today who said that he was suprised that no one had
come up with bicycle/HPV tandem that one could ride around town.

If there is such a beast Mr. Larrington will no doubt know of it. I
somehow doubt it would make a practical run-about for town though. A
sociable (side by side) might make a more sensible arrangement than a
tandem for a practical faired HPV.

ISTR Lohnmeier (www.alleweder.de) built a tandem Alleweder once, or somehow got
hold of one at least.
Had a quick Google, and it was Cab-bike actually

(bottom right-hand corner) and http://www.cab-bike.com/news1d.shtml
And didn't Greenspeed built a back-to-back trike? That might be an useful
starting point for a faired tandem.

This is great. Neither of us are planning on building one., well, I
certainly am not! I just thought that something like what he was
talking about would already exist. TheLohnmeier site is just what I was
looking for.

Thanks very much

There has been a tandem version of the aluminium Alleweder too. Last I
heard it had gone on holibobs in Australia.

Never seen a Greenspeed b-t-b, but ICE have built at least two X2R tandems.
Craig Johnsen has one in the US and the other comes out fairly frequently on
Audax UK rides with Mike Hunting & Linda Johnston.

Don't know of any other fully-enclosed two-seaters except for those built
for racing/record-breaking.

Maffeo Barberini (1568-1644) was made entirely of salmon.

My mistake, only seen the contraption once (at the Spezialradmesse)

The B2B ICE strikes me as an awesome vehicle to act as a camera platform
for marathon running race coverage. Runners wouldn't get the noise and
pollution you get with the usual motorbikes and also the view-blocking
for spectators on the ground.

A b-t-b bike might be even better suited. Plenty of b-t-b bikes around, often
with full suspension.
Or get a Flevo-bike and do away with the stoker.

That's the one I linked to, actually.
