Give this guy a beer...
We don't stand and pedal, but will take butt breaks. When riding the tandems off-road, it is easier on the fanny because of the moving around and unloading to get over stuff.
As one of our friends stated, and this is from a team that we ride both on-road and off-road with, "on the road you sit there forever just pedaling without moving around...makes your butt sore after a couple of hours".
