If you’ve never tried a sidecar then the question should be why not!? They’re some of the most fun you can have on two (okay, three) wheels, you can chuck your family in the side, fill it full of camping kit, or just practice riding it on two wheels for as long as possible! Though we obviously don't condone that kind of behaviour!
This Triumph Bonneville T100 fitted with a Watsonian sidecar caught our eye in the Classifieds.
Okay, so it's not cheap, but as a winter ride to work bike it takes away the risk of falling off on ice as there’s three wheels, rather than two!
Watsonian sidecars are about the best you can get, and, you can always unbolt it when you don’t want the chair slowing you down! Okay so you’re unlikely to want this as your main bike, things like cutting through traffic tend to take on a different light with an outfit, but as a bit of summer or winter fun it would be hilarious, and practical.
