Agreed, it's as bad as their other articles, which are pretty shallow. But also agreed that talk about tandems is better than none, even here.
I paid only around $300 or $350 for my tandem, and I'm not anywhere close to replacing it, so a cheap tandem is a viable idea. Of course, that was used and a very special low price, but I wouldn't look down my nose at that Schwinn or a Raleigh Companion. They work.
