Pictures of happy tandem couples?

[cranky old dude]

I don't have any recent pics though we just bought a Sun EZ Tandem so some
will be posted. In the meantime here are two from 1994 with our daughters and our
Burley. Note the child crank in the stoker's cockpit.


This is my oldest (just under 8yrs. old at the time) as we finished an M.S. ride.

Here I am with all three stokers the same summer, the little ones are 4 yrs. old in this photo.

Another with one of the twins from a couple years later, note the absence of the child crank.

Local MS 150 ride last fall. Like others here, lots of pictures taken by the stoker of others, but not too many of us riding the Tandem. 68191

Hello

here are some photos of my "DARK SHADOW"

[Trsnrtr]

How about a happy tandem pair from the Winter of '88-89?

[colotandem]

Here's a couple of us when we were in Spain last fall - notice we're on our DaVinci coupled tandem and not in phase and happy stoker posing for the camera

[JMarino]

Here's two of us. The first one is also in the 2008 Co-Mo catalog. This was taken during the GEORGE STREET BIKE CHALLENGE FOR MAJOR TAYLOR, on July 29, 2007 in Worcester, Mass. It is an uphill time trial for a distance of 500 feet at an average grade of 18 percent. What fun! The second picture was taken on a training ride in Western MA.

[tulip]

These are great pictures! I want a tandem!

[zonatandem]

Cranky!
Love the shot of the kidz with Mixte-X and the Burley stoker T-shirts and pilot wearing appropriate Pilot
T! Owned a couple of those nice front-and-rear-half Burley tandem T's way back when and used to get lots of comments on them!

[cranky old dude]

O.K. Here's a more recent (yesterday) pic of me and my bride Dialing-in our
latest toy, a used EZ Tandem. No helmets for pics. We're looking foreward to
some nice rides along the Erie Canal this season.

Here's my 6 year old son and I on our RANS Dynamik Duo. It was 63 degrees yesterday and it was really good to get out.

I liked this thread so much I had to add my own pics!

These are from 2007 Ride the Rockies (coinciding with our 30th anniversary). Anyone can stay married 30 years as long as you remember that the stoker is always right!

[s2cycle]

We've been tandeming since 1999. There are a slew of photos of us on our website at http://www.s2cycle.com (http://www.s2cycle.com/). Don't know why it took this long to discover this forum. I ended up here trying to learn about our new Garmin Edge 705. Then I found the tandem group. So here's our most recent photo (Spring Break in San Diego last week).

Only the stoker since the captain is the photographer. ;)

[Ashen]

Here's one from the first day we bought it at a garage sale a couple years ago. In the meantime its gotten some slick tires, and we got married :) The bike is nothing fancy (Motiv) but we have a blast on it, and get at least a few hundred miles in during the nice weather.

Pics from last weekend. Here's taxi777 and wifey trying out the ride: :D

Well,
This is a pretty cool thread....
I need to search for pictures of us, but, here's how we started our lives together.... Nov. 5th 2005
Happy riding,
John-n-Stacy-tandemteam

[Pista Largo]

These are Bill (79) and Mary (74). We encountered them on the Paul Bunyan trail, near Hackensack Minnesota. They had been out for 12 days, had ridden across Minnesota from Iowa to the Canadian border and were on their way home. My stoker, Marcia, took the picture.

[sweetnsourbkr]

That is a really sweet shot guys! ^^ :D

Here is part of the family at the end of the Fiesta wildflower ride in San Antonio.

[ocbiker]

Here is wife and me on our maiden voyage on our new (for us) tandem. :)

[Murf524]

This was our first attempt at a climbing century. We made it to the top of Horseblock Mountain and decided to go back to the ride start. My stoker did a fabulous job as we completed 66 miles for the day. We just need to learn how to pace ourselves on climbs.

Hi all. This is a posed (you can tell by the shoes...) photo for our fund raising page for the annual Bikes not Bombs bike-a-thon. Nice to be among the many tandem couples! Best regards!

[MaxCady]

...first contact to our new tandem!
The size J/L fits us best (I'm 6'9" and stoker 6'2") and it was a right decision to order a repaint to "white pearl" instead of "jet black" (the only available model in Germany!). The Camagnolo Chorus (complete incl. 13-26 cog) works fine!
Thanks for all your advices...!!
Regards from Germany

Here's the day before my girlfriend's first ride (51 miles!) on Big Blue:

[Little-Acorn]

Got the Altus derailleur on and the new longer rear axle in. Now there's room for a 7- or 8-speed freewheel, but the 5-speed 14-34 is on there now, with derailleur adjusted accordingly.

Here's a shot just before the first ride around Miramar Lake.

Haven't kicked into the right toe clip yet. My 9-year-old son's attitude: "What's a toe clip?" But he loves the bike.

[Possum Roadkill]

Waiting to see if any pictures were taken during the Davis Double. Until then, only have a few pictures from a weekend ride earlier. We're having so much fun riding the bike, it's not easy to stop and take pictures. During a moderate climb on the Davis Double, we were surrounded by butterflies however had not brought a camera with us.

[SambaMixte]

This is after a 42 miler Corporate Challenge. Stoker is eldest daughter Kaity, then 15. You can see who is sweating!

[WheresWaldo]

I had posted this picture before in the Road>Show us your Cannondale thread. This was taken by a local newspaper for an article about cycling in the area. This was also before numerous upgrades to the tandem as outlined in our blog and on threads here.

Not the best shot due to the extreme backlight but the only shot we've ever had of ourselves before, during or after a ride. This is the finish line of the '08 Reach The Beach ride in Oregon. Begins in Portland and ends at the beautiful Oregon coast with a tire dip in the surf.

Hope to see folks at the upcoming NWTR...

Nice photo.

Can you post a photo of the bike too, and some comments on advantages, how it rides etc as it looks unusual.

Thanks to one of our talented forum members he was able to rework this photo adding some fill light so we are now visible. Hope you don't mind the repost. I'm also answering the request for a pic of the bike.

These were some of my captains favorite tandem pictures we took.

[transam]

Charmed,

Now you've gone and done it. ;)

Here is one of our favorite pics from a tour around the US we did last summer.

[andydreisch]

transam, I think I read your journal on Crazy Guy on a Bike, no?

Andy,

Yep, it's on CGOAB and called "Friends & Family Tour". We had a blast! Thanks for following along.

Alpha Q fork,


is that the Alpha Q fork with the carbon steerer?

The manufacturer specs it for a maximum of 40mm of spacers belwo the stem. I'd be a bit concerned running that many spacers on a cf steerer tube, partciularly on a tandem.

[KRhea]

You not familiar with the Alpha Q Z-Pro fork which is specifically designed for the way I'm using it with no spacer limit. The steer tube on Z-Pros is at least twice as thick if not thicker than a normal tandem fork and maintains that thickness throughout.
It's the same fork Zinn uses all his custom built bikes for really big guys who need extended steer tubes and/or stronger all carbon forks.

Check the AlphaQ website for futher info.
