I've ridden singles for years and was pretty good at the track stand over time but the first time I tried it at a light on the tandem I got a whack from my stoker. Though last week while we were on the Swamp Rabbit trail we got some accolades from a coupe of roadies on singles for our slow-speed maneuvering through the barriers and across one of the bridges. Not having the clip-less pedals on currently adds to her comfort level.
