Tandem Tricycle Patent Canvas Print, 1984 Bicycle-Built-For-Two Art

Description

This canvas print reproduces a patent drawing for turning two ordinary bicycles into a single three-wheeled tandem. It comes in two sizes, 14×11 and 20×16, each as gallery-wrapped canvas. As a tandem tricycle patent canvas print it reproduces the plate exactly as it was drawn and filed in 1984, adapter clamp and all, with nothing added and nothing simplified.

The plate is dated 1984 and shows a complete front bicycle – front wheel, fork, saddle, and chainring all in place – with a second bicycle’s frame joined to it by an articulating adapter bolted to the lead bike’s rear axle. The trailing bike loses only its front wheel; its own saddle, chainring, and rear wheel stay in use, so two riders pedal two separate drivetrains across three wheels total. It is a genuine tandem tricycle, not a wide two-rear-wheel trike, and the drawing makes that plain in a single figure. For a cyclist or a collector of mechanical patent art, that plainness is the appeal: it is the actual engineering record, not a modern illustration made to look old.

Each canvas is made to order in our family-owned workshop in Northeast Ohio, printed with fade-resistant inks on gallery-wrapped canvas so the edges are finished and ready to display without a separate frame. It settles naturally into a den, garage, or workshop as vintage tandem bike patent wall art, and pairs well with other cycling patent pieces for a rider’s gallery wall. The aged parchment tones hold up under normal light for years without fading, so the fine linework of the adapter and frames stays sharp.

Hanging is simple: each canvas ships with wall hangers that peel, press, and hold securely without nails or tools, and they remove cleanly later without holes or wall damage. Pick the 14×11 for a shelf or narrow wall, or the 20×16 to anchor a larger space. It arrives ready to hang, with nothing else to buy.

Add this tandem tricycle patent canvas print to a gallery wall of cycling memorabilia, or let the three-wheeled silhouette stand alone above a workbench or desk. Choose the size and style that fits the wall, and it arrives ready to display.

Every order is made and packed by hand in our family shop in Northeast Ohio. We use premium gallery-wrapped canvas, high-quality frame material and fade-resistant inks for both prints and canvas. Each frame is made to order and shipped same or next business day.
