Agreed that everyone must have a Back Up Bike.
I've never been able to interest my wife in riding a 'bent. My starter Tailwind would have been perfect for her - not interested.
But......no trouble talking her into being a 'bent stoker. I promised her that she would be supremely comfortable and that we would never again have to call out 'Butt Break' when riding tandem. Now, if only the weather and roads will clear.
Have fun on the new bikes!
