She is able to take in the scenery without being concerned with the road ahead and other captain stuff. She points out things that I miss, which I am grateful for. It helps to have a tandem with a longer than normal stoker compartment. Yes of course drafting helps to go further, but more important is the camaraderie.
My wife hears some potential stokers saying, "I sure wouldn't want to look at his back all day!" My wife says, "I never look at his back. Why would I do that? More importantly, I also never look at the road." It's a pleasure having her along.
