They claim it's quite secure, even over those bumpy Belgian cobbles!
The way I transport the Tandem. Only thing I do is take the wheels off to lighten the lifting load and strap the Bars to the frame to stop them digging into the roof of the car. Ideal cheap way of transporting the Tandem if, like me, you mainly ride from home with only the occasional trip where you have to go by car.
