Yup. And the worst possible combination is 2 boys and 1 girl. Neither boy can drop behind without losing manhood points because that would be yielding the girl to the other boy.

Mrs. Grouch and I once encountered that while riding our tandem. I eventually pulled off the trail to avoid a collision. I actually considered just riding on to let him find out what happens when a single bike runs into 400+ pounds of tandem and rider but I didn't want to pretzel my handlebar.
