Yeah, TAndem is cool to watch. Saw a race at the Olympic Velo in Co. Sprngs once...and prolly the worst accident I have ever seen at a race too: going into the first turn this tandem hit the rear tire of another. The 'hitting' tandem went down HARD. Captain=unconscious, 4 broken ribs, massive bruising on back and thighs. Stoker=broken ribs, bruising, broken nose. Not very pretty. Like a tangle of steel and people.
