Also, we pedal out of phase 90 degrees. If there is a slight incline at the stop, as pilot pushes off, her pedal going over the top gives us a bit of extra oomph.
There no stumbling around like . . . 'oops the light changed . . . gotta clip in '
After 34+ years of tandeming TWOgether, this is what works great for us.
Pedal on!

Hi Rudy and Kay,
Has it only been 34 years? Thought you'd been into tandeming longer than that.
My preference as captain is that stokers who are lighter than I am should stay clipped in but those who outweigh me should put a foot down.
