Hi Attilo
My wife was never able to ride a solo bike and fell off every time.
When her mobility deterieted we decided to try a Tandem as it could not possibly be worse!
I found a tandem group who rode tandems with vision impared and dissabled stokers so I tried tandem riding with them, and still ride with them at lest once a week!
All the group tandems have a sinchronising chain which locks front (captain) and rear (stoker) pedals in synch so the captain always knows where the stokers pedals are.
After a couple of tandem rides I borrowed a tandem and rode Solo for a few rides to get my confidence and staminer up, then asked my wife (Kathy) to join me,
Result instant joy no more falling off and never late, we then purchased our own Tandem a medium Cannondale and have never looked back.
As Kathy's left ankle deterieted we started to stall and fall over on steep climbs so I fitted a front motor and battery pack and now no fear on hills
Some Tndems do have the ability to allow the stoker to pedal out of synch and this creates a problem for corners and Kerb crossing so the captain calls out (right forward) to tell the stoker to bring their right pedal forward and synch ready to corner or climb a curb (not a problem when both are locked the captain just stops pedaling with his pedal correct and stoker is there.
I hop you get a tandem and have lots of fun
Good luck
Joe
