Well done, YS. Good to get out, isn't it? About the incidents, yes the captain should dictate what the pedals do and the stoker should follow. But it also helps if you have decided ahead of time how you will do it most of the time. As for you leaning the bike over, it's probably best if you always keep the bike up with your feet on the ground, and she climbs off without needing the bike leaned over. That removes any ambiguity of what you (plural) intend to do.
