Hi there,

I'm a complete Newbie and I'm looking to purchase a tandem for my GF for her birthday. We're both new to the sport and plan to ride a couple of times a month.

I need to find a good online or local (S. California) source to purchase a new bike. Can't go used since this is a gift.

Are there any places where I can find a good deal? What kind of discounts can I expect off of retail, if any?

Thanks in advance!

How close are you to LaVerne / Clairmont, California?

Bud's Bike Shop
217 W 1st St , Claremont
(909) 621-5827

This shop is owned by Bill McCready, the man behind Santana Tandems. While most of the models on display are Santana tandems, they will have a range of styles and models to look at. They often times have demos or slightly used tandems on sale as well as trade-in models. However, the best pip is that they truly know how to teach newbies the proper way to mount, ride, and dismount tandems which makes all the difference in the world.

You won't be obliged to buy and, if nothing else, you'll come out with a good feel for the basics of riding tandems and a performance/handling baseline to compare to if decide to search out some other dealers who stock and sell tandems and take some additional test rides.

Others who still live in SoCal will likely have some other suggestions on shops that stock and sell tandems, noting that I relocated from Redlands, CA to Georgia back in '91... thus, my local knowledge is now a bit lacking.
