Well, as beginner tandemists (though experienced cyclists), we haven't tried that yet. We are still using flat pedals rather than the clipless we have on our other bikes (just while we get used to starting and stopping) so we will probably wait until we are clipped in.
It does raise a question though. My wife tends to climb out of the saddle, I tend to sit in and grind out the hills, only standing on short climbs to maintain momentum. We will have to find a common ground.
Sandra says she hadn't realised how often I change gear (I believe in spinning as being most efficient) until she got on the tandem. She said it is no wonder my right side ergo lever ratchet is worn out
