I found the last comment on the article interesting- "any woman who wants to captain a tandem can contact WABITS or Potomac Pedalers and be put in touch with several blind men in the area who would be very happy to be the stoker"- because it appears to imply that women can be captains of tandems if their male stoker is blind or otherwise handicapped but if not, forget it. (I'm sure that's not what was actually meant though.)
