I picked up a co-worker on my tandem as part of last year's Bike to Work Week. On the way in, as a guy whizzed past us, my stoker asked "What was that?" (She's blind, and this is her way of participating in BTWW). I replied, "Oh, some guy in spandex on a skinny little bike just passed us." Suddenly I feel this surge of power from the stoker crank. We almost caught up with him before he turned off.
