4 in line bicycle
Today I passed (going in the opposite direction) a bike very similar to this on route 21 near Hartfield, Sussex. Parents (presumably) fore and aft and two boys in the middle. I've never seen a bike like this before; it looked fun but I wonder how manoeuvrable it is, how strong the construction has to be, and how you start moving or stopping and coping with sharp bends.

I don't peddle bikes.

It's just a tandem, albeit a long one.
The steering circle will be extended, the starting and stopping will just need communication.
A shortcut has to be a challenge, otherwise it would just be the way. No situation is so dire that panic cannot make it worse.
