November 1992's Bicycling magazine has an article on page 72
about the Uncle Fester they rate it very highly due to it's
lateral stifness and on/off road capability. They also say the
suggested retail is $2,200. You can't beat the name.
Another brand you should check out is called the Burrly tandem
I have ridden one of these before with a blind 10 year old. (I was
obviously the captin) His legs were not long enough so we got a
special adapter from Burrly that puts another crank set on the seat
tube of the stoker. Quite an ingenious set up it lets small children
ride with you. I don't know where they are distributed from, but
the bike shop I used to work at carried them. Give them a call at
(617)244-1040voice and ask who to get in touch with. Tell them Sanford
sent you.
Good Luck.
