    That looks deadly, if I hadn't bought a trailer for 2 a few months back I would have been interested. How is the front wheel with 2 kids on the back, stable? GLWS

    Cheers.. Very stable as the wheelbase is longer than a normal bike.
    Only the rearmost seat sits slightly behind the rear axle.

    You weren't planning to wheelie it, were you:eek::D

    Here's someone on something similar:

    Stupid car had a hissy fit, really wanted this bike but I'm out due to car repair costs, on the plus side another shameless plug for a steal.

    May I ask what the bike is like when strapping 2 kids into the seats? Is it stable on the kick stand or does it need two adults to load them up safely?

    I always load myself. The kick stand is not stable enough on it's own so I'll generally rest the bike against something like the signpost outside the school or the pillar in my garden.
    The "U" shape on the arm rest of the child seat acts as a very stable resting point preventing the bike moving back or forward when loading.
