Two points to wafflycat. It is indeed a semi-recumbent tandem, a Pino,
manufactured by Hase in Germany. We've got one. Last month's TC ride
saw _two_ Pinos on the road together - a rare event I think.

I was going to say a Pino but Shirely the one I saw last month was
steered from the back (or have I missed something?)

The one in the picture is steered from the back. The bloke at the front
has a death like grip on the two hand rests. On ours, to give the
illusion of the stoker actually having some sort of control, I've
fitted a bell. All the gears, brakes and steering are done by the
pilot, sitting at the back. I think the bit appearing to link the
stoker's hand grip to the fork is in fact the tie rod joining the
pilot's bars to the front forks. It's a perspective thing.

The model shown is damn near identical to ours - we don't have the
front pannier rack seen on the diagonal tube beneath the stoker, and
they don't seem to have a front chain tensioner.

thanks; I had visions of the one I saw last month having a steerer tube
straight to the forks and the person in front being ahead of this but
that would be silly I suppose unless the stoker (can you have a front
stoker?) was about 4 stone.

One of the nice things about a Pino is that you can get a 'small
stoker' kit
http://www.hase-bikes.com/ens/pino/index.php?show=zub&bike=pino
so you can use one of your kids as a crash absorber, rather than a full
size adult 😉
The ultimate 'open' recumbent riding position?

Hase something - 'Pino' or 'Pinto' I think.

Hmm, some of the details don't look the same as current Pino's, but if
it's like Tim's then that's good enough for me 😉

It /could/ be a Counterpoint Opus, or a Bilenky Viewpoint, but almost
certainly isn't...
