I think it would be nice for new Tandem Teams, or wanna be Tandem Teams if we had a thread that answered many of the "just starting out" questions. Some new teams might not be familiar with the search function or might be hesitant to ask a question for whatever reason. If we can gather enough information in one spot, possibly we can petition for it to become a "Sticky".
There are so many common questions, a few that come to mind are
"How much is this tandem worth?"
"Where do I buy a new tandem"
"How do I start"
How about it? Post a question, or post an question with the answer, or a link to where you have answered it in the past.
I'll start by giving links to some of the sites that my wife and I studied prior to becoming joining the tandem club.

There are many more but this is where we started about 3 years ago.
