Well everyone has a method they like for mounting and taking off on a Tandem.
My self and the wife keep it simple. I straddle the Tandem, apply the brakes hold the Tandem steady, she cleats in both feet places the peddle left or right side peddle does not matter at about the 1 o clock position give or take I cleat that foot in. Then I say go and we go as I cleat my second foot in. Allways smooth with no bobble sinse we started 12 years ago. Sorta came easy to us like drinking water, were lucky...
A lot of Tandem teams I have seen over the years make this process or part of Tandem cycling way to complicated and convaluted causing akwardness and confusion between the Captain & Stoker.
Ride Safe All,
