Maybe your stoker is working harder to haul your fat a** ;-) Seriously though I notice a big difference when more weight is on the tandem regardless of where it comes from. We just came off a 5 day tour and the bike feels so squirmy the first time you set off loaded, I kept checking for a flat the first day.
We have discussed this calmly several times (not so calmly a couple of times), she is certain she is not moving any more than she did last year.
Remember its always the captains fault, the stoker is always right :-)
