The same is true for singles... seeing your butt leaving the sadle, should serve as notice that the pace is likely to drop, but only momentarily....
Standing has become second nature for us on the Tandem. No signals needed. On the triple, I, the captain, instruct my stokers to let me know if they want or need to stand; unless they are following my lead. I need my full attention and strength to keep to rig in line.
