| Tandems
From Wikipedia:
"The tandem bicycle or twin is a form of bicycle (occasionally, a tricycle) designed to be ridden by more than one person. The term tandem refers to the seating arrangement (fore to aft, not side-by-side) instead of the number of riders." Visit wikipedia.org/wiki/Tandem_bicycle for more information on Tandems.

| Trikes
From Wikepedia:
A tricycle (often abbreviated to trike) is a three-wheeled vehicle.
Tricycles generally follow one of two layouts:
- delta, with two wheels at the back (of which one or both may be driven) and one steered wheel at the front. Delta recumbent trikes resemble the classic all around trike. The seat height is higher than the tadpole trike, allowing for an easier mounting and exiting. This type is well suited for recreational riding as well as carrying cargo. You can find an example of a recumbent trike at Sun bicycles website.
- tadpole, with two steered wheels at the front and one (usually driven) wheel at the back. Tadpole recumbent trikes are the sport tourers of recumbent trikes. They sit low to the ground and allow leaning and body english for accomplishing tight turns and maneuvering. The picture below is an example of a tadpole trike.
Not all trikes fall into one of these two classes. For example, some early pedal tricycles used two wheels in tandem on one side and a larger driving wheel on the other. It is common for tricycles to have front and rear wheels of different sizes.

| Folding Bikes
For times or places when moving or storing a "regular bike" is an issue, a folding bike might just do the trick.

| Designed specifically for boaters, the Mariner D7 makes your on-shore adventures a lot more fun and convenient. It stashes easily into even the tiniest of boat holds. But when you arrive at a port of call it unfolds in seconds to help you explore or shop for supplies. The perfect accessory for your boat.
*Note: While rust resistant, the Mariner is not rust proof. Proper maintenance is required to minimize corrosion.
