Bicycle Built For Four?

As was mentioned earlier this week, there are several ways to get around town. I forgot to mention by bicycle. Along the Mall are eager drivers waiting to haul a couple passengers short distances. It's a great idea for anyone who can't walk, but also an option once the day gets long and one can't go another step. We were quite amazed the other day when an entire family hailed the "cab" to take them down to the Capitol from the Smithsonian Castle and were curious to see how they would all fit in to the vehicle meant for two passengers. We were certain the the teenaged young man was thouroughly embarrassed that the idea was even considered, and that he ended up sitting on his father's lap. We were surprised they all fit in and that the driver had no problem moving the vehicle towards the destination.

How embarrassing! But what a nice break....there are actually 4 family members-
a child on each lap
