In retrospect I should not have gone so far....
I love to ride and will hit 1,000 miles for my first time this year. My wife is not a big rider, but thought she may like to get into it. I bought her a new bike (Trek1200C) and a tandem (Trek as well). In any case I thought nothing of going on a 18.6 mile ride with her in tow as my Stoker. Well she was fine and having a good time for the first 10 miles but the last 8.6 she was tired and had a sore rear end. I feel bad that i over-estimated the distance she could go and I forgot that she was a newbie. i have now bought her a new softer seat and will ease her into cycling more slowly.
Does anyone have any suggestions (for road or tandem) that could help her make the transition better?
