Rowan and I have been talking about a tandem ... I've ridden tandems before with my father (he and I each had one), but he and I never really meshed on tandem rides. He and my mother were a great partnership on the tandem, but my father and I have quite different riding styles. That said, we did complete a century on one.

I would like to rent one and try it on some very quiet, relatively flat roads with Rowan before we commit to buying one. I'm quite an independent rider and am not sure how well I would take to being stoker.
