We went to a Christmas party on Saturday and were recounting our Florida tandeming experience. I was surprised by the sincere interest and the questions; it was well beyond idle curiosity. Most of the people were recreational riders, though definitely not roadies. I think all of them would/will definitely give it a try. My wife, who is truely a dillettante (you can read that 'princess', if you prefer) when it comes to athletics, makes the role of stoker sound more cleopatra than stoker. She is definitely the better salesman for the sport (Anyone who knows us knows that we are not trying to go faster than Yugos.).

I have continued my web search for the perfect dilettante tandem ... haven't found it yet! On the Co-Motion site I found our local authorized dealer and gave him a call. I think I was the first person to inquire about a tandem in a very loooooonng time. They don't stock them and don't foresee doing so. Hmmmm? I think we will end up driving 100+ miles to look at and test ride a decent tandem.
