I agree, it's pretty well written and presents tandems in a positive light. However, I had to laugh at one of the fallacies: "Size matters up front for a couple of reasons, one being that the stronger cyclist can better tolerate the headwinds." - I'm pretty sure that it doesn't matter which set of pedals the extra power comes from. Or maybe the author was referring to the rider with a thicker layer of body fat being less affected by cold winds on cooler days, so it's better for the heavier ride to take the brunt of the headwind.
