I like it! I just wonder whether in practice the design would corner better than the more common variety with two rear wheels. Of course, the high center of gravity is much more of an issue for a trike than a bike, and that remains true for this design.

Back in the day, a few couples had matching T shirts to die for. As I recall them, they said,

"Jack Taylor build proper tandems.

and we all joked that Jack Taylor, like most custom builders, were happy to construct exactly the bike they thought you needed.

Here's a photo of the Taylor "reverse" trike. I was in the process of purchasing it for Norman, when he got to the point he couldn't ride his regular bike. He went down so quickly, that we never closed the deal. See here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/meauxtown/4037096669/ ? Mike Thompson Monroe, Louisiana I'm a Jack Taylor Bicycle Man.
