The Versatility of the Triple-Double: A 3 Person Bike and a Tandem in One
The Triple-Double model takes versatility to the next level. Utilizing S&S couplings, this 3 person bike can be easily converted into a tandem bicycle. This innovative design offers the best of both worlds: a 3 person bike for family adventures and a tandem for couples’ rides. This conversion also makes transport and storage significantly easier.
The Triple-ST uses couplings to split the bike in half for easier transport and storage.

Real-World Adventures on Rodriguez Long Bikes
Our commitment to long bike innovation goes beyond 3 person bikes. In 2010, we built a quad tandem for an extraordinary group of four individuals cycling across Canada to support four different charities. Their motto, “4 guys, 4 causes, 1 bike,” perfectly encapsulates the spirit of teamwork and shared adventure that our long bikes embody. You can see a picture of their quad here.
We also crafted a remarkable quint bike in 2007, a 5 person bike that was engineered to convert into a quad, triple, or tandem! This incredible machine stretched nearly 15 feet in length, showcasing our ability to create truly custom and ambitious designs.
Every Rodriguez long bike, including our 3 person bikes, is custom-built and priced individually. While these extraordinary creations represent a significant investment, our prices are often more competitive than other manufacturers. And unlike some, we welcome these unique projects year-round.
