How Much Do You Guys Spend On A Tandem? We're just beginning. We paid $900 for a decent used Santanna as our "starter". If all goes well and we gel as a team, the plan is to have Scott Quiring, a local custom builder build us a custom frame in a couple of years. I will spend the time from now till then accumulating and testing the components on the Santanna frame. Like others have posted. the benefits in regards to health and relationship are immeasurable so a few grand on bikes, if that is your passion, is easy to justify.
How Much Exercise Do You Guys Do? Not nearly enough. That is one of the reasons we bought this bike. Life is busy and this gives us shared time that we can also use for exercise.
You Guys Just Ride Tandem And That It? No, we ride mountain bikes and road bikes as well, we also do indoor exercise. Me on the trainer and her with aerobics.
i Am 40 And My Wife Is 39 We are 46 and have seven kids from 14 - 23 all of whom cycle. We like to spend much of our free on bikes and or bike trips at mountain bike trails or road ride destinations. When we have a family event that is out of town, I bring my bike and my wife drops me off 40 or 50 miles from home on the way back.
