We give a criterion for fibre products to be finitely presented and use it as the basis of a construction that encodes the pathologies of finite group presentations into pairs of groupswhereGis a product of hyperbolic groups andPis a finitely presented subgroup. This enables us to prove that there is a finitely presented subgroupPin a biautomatic groupGsuch that the generalized word problem foris unsolvable andPhas an unsolvable conjugacy problem. An additional construction shows that there exists a compact non-positively curved polyhedronXsuch thatis biautomatic and there is no algorithm to decide isomorphism among the finitely presented subgroups of.
