Well, it's almost time to pull the tandem out again and I had a few ideas. Riding OOP helped, but not enough. I still found that or cadence wasn't right for me. So, I have an idea.

Though this probably isn't the safest solution, I'm sure I can make it work. Since a few of you recommended shorter crankarms for her, I was thinking about putting blocks on her pedals. I figure this would make the effective length of the existing arms shorter, and allow me to raise her seat up a bit allowing her to see around me a bit. I had to cut her seat post to make it go in far enough for her to reach the pedals and it bothers me having none of the seat post available to mount a light or reflector on.

I just have to mount the blocks securely and make them so her feet don't slip off of them
She's still against toe clips.
