Thanks everyone! Will definitely look up those items you mentioned; we're currently compiling a list of things to buy (though just bought the bike!) so still working out the budget. However, I'll make sure to have some prints our or at least some pdfs saved now too. (:

And we'll hopefully be able to do a few test runs before March (when we head out). The bike should be arriving sometime this week or maybe next and we've found a tandem cyclist nearby who's willing to give us some lessons. (:

Cheers!
