I see your avitar is a tandem. The reason tandems exist is so that two people, who are not evenly matched physically, can ride together. It's hard to ride with someone else unless you're pretty evenly matched. Otherwise one partner feels like they aren't doing anything and the other feels like they're chaseing all the time.
