161/365 - Bike Built for Two?

Erica and Brian decided to try out the "features" on his trick bike - and think this will be the "trickiest" they get with it. Brian and Scott picked out the bike in late December and got a great deal on it, but I'm not sure they really knew what they were buying. Brian just wanted a bike. But since it was something like $100 dollars off, they ended up with a trick bike, with front and back pegs.
I'm really not sure how one goes about performing the tricks, but the kids have watched others with similar bikes riding with "passengers". I doubt the back pegs were originally designed for this functionality, but they effectively support the weight of another rider.

This was also my opportunity to practice panning with the camera. I guess I need more practice.

After Brian finished his ride with Erica, I assumed the role of the bike peddler, with Erica hanging on. Yes, I know I set a bad example, enabling all this wild riding (sans helmets even). Just up and down the cul-de-sac. That's my excuse.
