great to hear about your first tandem ride
me and my partners was a short one...from the house to the end
of the pier at the harbour at girvan...it was snowing we didnt care......
my partner had zero experience re cycling had to learn how to
use spd's
after a few embarassing falls we both managed it
she now wants to buy a solo
we still use the tandem for touring tho
have fun steve rooney
