I test rode a Hase Pino a few times. It's a sit/lie tandem where the person in the back rides and steers more or less like a normal bike and the front rider is semi-reclined over the front wheel peddling with their feet out in front of them. My wife lost a $100 bet when I convinced a disabled friend to ride with me who was afraid of bikes and they had a blast. Should have made it a $15k bet so I could actually afford to keep the thing. I occasionally daydream about riding the Pino up and down the street downtown offering rides and flirting with the ladies.

I own a Hase Pino Tour, and it's my daily utility bike. I used to own a Bilenky Viewpoint (both semi-recumbent). I'll spare re-writing my comments; I go into greater detail here: https://lemmy.world/post/32634328/18119635
So if you're in the market for a Pino Tour, I'll make you a great deal on mine. I bought this while my partner was going through chemo, so that I could take her to doctor's appointments. I can't stand a bike that doesn't get used, so it's been pressed into service as my daily driver.
