kit to join two bikes side-by-side?

Do a search on Just Two Bikes they have a kit to join
two bikes.

Found it! (I tried giving up, but I *knew* I had seen it.)

So...how do you think a pair of bikes joined like that would
perform at ~30 MPH?

justtwobikes.comdual.htmOpen ↗ It seems to be
limited to a specific recumbent. Is that what you
were thinking?

Note that it looks like the right steering mechanism has
been disconnected.
justtwobikes.comdual lr red.jpgOpen ↗ With two
standard bikes, that's not nearly so easy. I wonder how it
would be to both have steering. My wife and I share dual
controls when we fly, but I can imagine that it would take a
lot more coordination to share steering on a bike,
especially on uprights where both riders are using
handlebars for some support.

OTOH, it would be handy to say "Your bikes" and do something
that requires looking away from the road for awhile. Time to
mount a computer...

And where would you ride at 30mph. Side by side riding is
generally illegal on most roads, And many of the bike paths
on the sides of streets in plcaes like Boulder, are just too
narrow for this, and to still allow passing. Many
specialised bike paths are too narrow, and how do you get it
there? You probably can't put it on a bike rack ( maybe if
you carefully adjust
it ). So you have to ride it to your path, which as I just
said is illegal.

Ah, but it's not two bikes side by side, it's a quadricycle
when assembled.

When a human-powered contraption grows a fourth wheel, it
usually falls outside the legal definition of a bicycle. I
imagine most law dogs would ignore/be oblivious to this
little detail, but nonetheless, in most places you'd be in
possession of a vehicle with as much right to the road as a
shopping cart.

Anyone who could pedal that thing up to 30 mph deserves a
standing gig in Las Vegas.

It's quite appropriate that you'd mention Las Vegas, home of
