Vik, congrats on the tandem. My wife and I also have very different riding characteristics. I found it hard to ride with her on our singles. The tandem is a great equalizer. While we are slower on the tandem than I am riding solo on my Volae, we are much faster than when we ride our singles together. Not only that, but she is getting stronger and we are doing much longer rides than we ever were able to do on the single bikes. I have found over time that as she has become a stronger rider, I prefer the tandem over riding solo.

Keep us posted on your progress.
