On a bicycle made for three

    I got a book about bicycling in victorian Ireland for Christmas. I may be the fount of all knowledge on this photo in a week or two when I get time to read it.

    derangedlemur We'll await developments then! :D

    Interesting gearing ratio on the Tridem (or whatever it's called). If the first two guys don't pedal the third guy's going to have a hard time of it.

    Usually known nowadays as a triplet. They were often used for pacing riding on solos. Three can go faster than 1 (3 times the power, but much less than 3 times the wind resistance). The rider being paced would stay as close behind the triplet as possible to maximise the aerodynamic advantage. They disappeared when motorcycles appeared on the scene. Nowadays 75cc 'Dernys' are used, although I've seen big 750cc brutes used on outdoor tracks. Triplet being used for pacing

    I was given the chance to ride 1200 km on this triplet , but turned down the offer. The three of them made their own way to the start, and had never ridden the machine together before. It has a lot of extra ironmongery* to make the frame stiffer, but was still very 'bendy', according to Steve, who took 'my' place at the back. *The one in the picture has a double top-tube (crossbar).

    Fascinating. Not an area I'm familiar with so Googled it. Streetview shows that same location but today and 'modern'. The pub is still there. The distant pointy spoil heap has been reclaimed and lowered but can be made out too. www.google.co.uk/maps/@54.8219949,-1.4519736,3a,75y,50.43...

    I've had a few pints in there. In recent history (Well about 25 years ago) it's where the well known Russel (Lol) Lawson uttered the immortal words, "I went for a chinese take away last night. I ate half, wor lass ate half and we threw the other half away!" I wonder if the lads all sat on their hunkers are waiting for work or the pit bus to get them up to Eppleton?

    Porcy Mane Really? I wasn't born then ;)

    Lucky you. Meant you didn't have to suffer the noise that was Kajagoogoo being emitted from pub sound systems. >?)
