Discovered this one when we got a tandem last summer. The Boy is twice my size but I am by far the more experienced rider; we tried it with me as captain and the bike wobbled all over the place. It wasn't a matter of strength but simple physics. So he rides captain and I stoke for now, until he loses some weight and I can boot him off the front seat
( not as bad as it sounds... he was disappointed that he had to ride in front because he wanted to look at my rear end, not the road, in the first place
)
