Our first try, we wobbled 20' and fell over. Bike unscratched. Next try immediately after went better and by 100 meters I had it figured. IMHO if you're good together, you can't help being good together on the tandem, too. It's all the same thing. Kinda intimate, having your pedals connected, isn't it? We upgraded our CoMo to belt drive to get even more of that feeling. It's a rolling party.
