    what is a bike called with six seats?

    Got me onto my usual train of mad thoughts... how easy would it be to
    manufacture an articulated tandem? Or failing that, a mechanism for
    converting two bikes into one?

    (I can't imagine that the second option would be easy, else we would have
    seen more of it about.)

    Hang on, this name is already reserved for a bike with 6 wheels:
    www.m-gineering.nl/artic.htm (text is dutch only)

    But back to the first question an articulated tandem is easy: get two
    old bikes, remove front wheel, spread fork and bolt to rear axle of
    other bike and ride round the block. No doubt properly engineered
    versions exist

    With S&S couplers bikes exist where you can remove the center section

    Too big?

    Sexdam I guess. I wouldn't want to try asking for one in a bike shop though!

    It's bad enough asking for nipples after you've bought all the spokes
    to make up a wheel.

    Depends...

    if they're all in a line one behind the other, it's a tandem sextuplet.

    If you ride one, it's called what you call it ;-)

    If it's a Thorn it could Me 'n' You Five ('Come on Dad! Faster! Faster!'😉.

    If it's all in line few would argue against sextuplet tandem, likewise
    sextuplet sociable for all abreast. But how about the other combos?
    For example two rows of three?

    Flipping through the usual unfunnies, I came across this cycling must-see:

    http://www.office-humour.co.uk/item.cfm?itm=1955

    It may have been posted here before as I remember it from somewhere.
    Worth another visit, though.

    Double breasted tandem triplet.

    Not unless it's been moved. It's the Wiener Staatsoper (Vienna opera
    house).

    Easy - but you have to join the Dark Side.

    Coupling bracket to join two Kettweisels together.
    The front wheel of the second one is removed.

    No, the Gare du Nord looks like this

    If you notice, the Lexus poster is in German and the buses do not look
    very Parisien.

    Barely a passing resemblance, then!

    Never mind, I'm off to Kiev this morning, so I won't read any follow
    ups further embarrassing myself!
