Dismount and carry tandem over the curb . .
If you have a physical problem and have balancing issues, a 3 wheeled tandem could be the answer, although those 3 wheelers are hard to come by and take up a lot more room on the road.
As for a present to impress the cycling girlfriend: matching cycling jerseys (in HER favorite color!)+ a good bottle of wine!
How about if I replace the front fork with a suspension fork? This tandem has 26" wheels. I don't know much about tandems, so bear with my "stupid" questions: are there 700C tandems? Are they what you call "road" tandems? If so, this isn't one.
Great idea on the cycling jerseys!!
