Hi all,

My wife and I are heading to Tandems East this weekend to try out some tandems. I've done quite a bit of research and am leaning towards the Co-Motion Speedster. We plan to ride a Speedster along with as many other tandems we can fit into our visit. I'm sure Mel and his crew will treat us right and properly fit us on a great bike.

But what, as a first time tandem buyer, do I need to keep in mind? Little things to think about? Potential gotchas that may not be revealed on the test ride? Things to try while on the bikes? Accessories/options to consider?

We are both fairly experienced riders and plan to do general road/path riding along with occasional light touring.

Thanks for the advice,
Dave
