Definitely a humblebrag. Joys of living out of that there London.
I used to have a gazelle cabby thing but sold it and got a kiddyback (that Circe) and it's absolutely brilliant. Love it. Will fit a child from about 3.5 I seem to remember. Almost got as far as putting a child seat on the rack on the back but both kids just ride their own bikes now. Big kid will just about fit on big tandem as stoker now, so looking forward to some proper rides with him. Still tempted to try and fashion some crank shorteners though.
If you were looking at kid carriers then the circe is a hell of a lot more fun to ride than a cargo bike, and crucially you get a bit of extra help up hills. My ex isn't a confident cyclist by any stretch but she was happy piloting the tandem for the school run.

Cheers. The Circe is a bit punchy. Part of the appeal of a tandem is that resale is often low - like that Thorn. So buying one is a bit more achievable and theft less of a concern.
In terms of crank length I've seem cranks with two sets of pedal holes. I think it would quite easily to drill and tap if you had a pillar drill - or probably best to take them to a machinist.

I'd love a garage. I've put this on the back burner for a bit. But think it could be a really good way to cycle kids to school.
