It's hard to beat a tandem for riding with your S.O., or even with your kids. On a tandem you're both always going the same speed, its easy to talk to each other, and you don't have to ride two wide or worry about rubbing tires together. Our tandem is the "fun" bike at our house.
And the stoker has such a wonderful view.
Just a little TOO much togetherness for us. We both enjoy the opportunity to go at different speeds (I bike ahead and circle back), and, in particular, my wife likes the challenge of a hill and the feeling that she climbed it ALL BY HERSELF!!
To each his/her own.
