This shows another alternative for carrying 2 people but unlike the previous example which was manufactured in that form, the machine was a safety with the added trailer. These trailers could be hired for 1s (5p) per week to take girlfriend, mother etc. on a jaunt in town or country.They were extremely popular with courting couples if finances only allowed 1 machine and temporary conversion into a 2 person machine was more practical than a permanent 2 seater. From "Cycles in Colour" by Robert Wilkinson-Latham 1978.
