Tandem Cycling - I need a tandem

Hi this is my first post in this forum, but i have used the road bike section for a while. I am an avid road/mtb rider, and would like to get a tandem for my wife and i to ride. The priority for the bike is. Comfort, we intend to use it for towing the kids in a trailer on the city bike paths and eventually a tandem century. All info is appreciated.

Good hunting. There are many great new and used tandems out there that will fit a variety of budgets and needs. If you want any feedback on specific models as you narrow your search feel free to ask.

Do lots of reading on the web. Try as many brands as possible. I ended up with a KHS Tandemania Sport which my wife and I found to be very comfortable and once adjusted, it is really fun. The more we ride it, the more we onjoy it. Good luck.
