Test ride and decide for yourself.

I don't want to make a mistake by virtue of brand affinity but I totally love my Schwinn Alloy Beach Cruiser so I've got to think that even with Tai engineering, It'll be fine.
Any Opinions??
Try to find a place that will let you test ride the $549.00 Schwinn and a Burley Samba immediately after one another. I suspect you will notice a huge difference in side-to-side sway. Personally, I find the low priced tandems kind of scary to ride. It's not a good deal regardless of price if you are afraid to ride it and don't use it.
